#### Background
In September 2024 the team participated in a Sprinthackular which was designed to create proof of concept for product ideas and get feedback from real users about the feasibility of the concept. The Android team created a proof of concept for a Trivia game. The usability testing insights were positive enough for us to build out the game and offer it in the app permanently in March 2025 and release to German Wikipedia, then all available languages.
After positive reception of the production “Which came first” game on Android (T393055) by both community members, and the press, we feel confident in bringing this game to iOS Users and continuing to improve it.
The Annual Plan has includes an objective to increase retention of logged-out users, and we believe games could be an engaging way to retain readers and knowledge lovers.
####Hypothesis
If we test the addition of the “Which came first” daily-play trivia game to the iOS App, we’ll see 15% of engaged logged-out readers return to play the game on multiple days.
