[M] Update Games explore feed card (user stories)
Closed, ResolvedPublic0 Estimated Story Points

Description

Background

The current entry point for Wikitriva games is in the explore feed. FY 25-26 we will introduce new games and update the explore feed. With this in mind, the games needs a permanent entry point that will allow users to decide which game they want to play.

User story:

  • As a new user of the app, I want to discover that there are Wikipedia games while using the explore feed.
  • [Nice to have] As someone who has already played or started playing today’s game, I want the explore feed element to update to show that my status with today’s game

Requirements

  • Only show the Explore feed element if the user has access to “Which came first”
  • Update the card for “Which came first” under the “Wikipedia games” element in the Explore feed card to be more similar to the “Suggested edits” card according to the designs
  • The card should only appear once in the feed per language, below featured article.
  • The card updates to always have today's games. It does not get saved for previous days like the featured article, picture of the day, etc
  • The card for “which came first” should preview the first question of the game
  • There should be a CTA within the card to play today’s game
  • Add a CTA under the card for “More" that leads to the Games hub (similar to “more suggested edits)
  • In the future, we should be able to swipe to other games under “Wikipedia games” (similar to Suggested edits)

Nice to have

  • After someone has played today’s game, update the state of the “Which came first” card to reflex that the game has been played
    • Update CTAs on card to “Review results” and “Play archive”
  • After someone has started and paused today’s game
    • Update CTA on card to “Continue today’s game”
