In my design of Fibbage, friends old and new are given a space where they can joke around and express themselves. Existing on a social platform, I aimed to design Fibbage for a user who was looking to interact and develop connections with other players. What I wanted to emphasize in my design were the Join, Play, and Connect phases of the user journey. User journey + initial flowsįrom the user persona, I crafted a user journey that highlights the various stages of the user's experience, which extend beyond playing the game. Everything that follows is how I landed at the final design mockups for a mobile version of Fibbage. Some of my ideas, naturally, did not make it past the sketching stage. Various screen layouts that met the design requirements of being able to chat with others while in game and having avatars visible on screen How the user might join others in playing the game Within my sketches, I explored various user flows and wireframes of the user's interaction of a mobile version of Fibbage. Some ideas I explored were: Pain Points: 'I need to be able to play the game and talk with other players at the same time, otherwise I feel like I'm playing by myself.' I love the back and forth between friends when we play games.' Mental Model: 'Trivia games are most fun when I can interact with other people. Motivation: 'I want to play a trivia game that allows me to be creative, expressive, and connect with other people.' I dubbed this persona The Trivia Game Player. In constructing this user persona, I also thought closely about the social platform that they would be using in #me, and the users' probable desire to use the platform to connect and socialize with others:Ĭontext: 'I'm looking to play a fun trivia game with some friends.'

To begin designing, I thought through the user's context, motivations, mental model, and pain points as they would begin interacting with a mobile version of Fibbage.
