OVERVIEW

What it is.

Trivia for You home screen with Daily Trivia, Top 10 For You, and Playlists

Trivia for You is a live trivia game under the Microsoft Solitaire portfolio, part of Microsoft Casual Game Studios at Xbox Game Studios. It's currently available in soft launch on zone.msn.com.

I'm a UX/UI Designer on the title, and my work has included design for the game's first-time user experience, focused on how new players are onboarded and how the first few sessions are paced before they settle into the core game loop.

FOCUS AREA

Where the work lives.

FTUE design covers the first few minutes a player spends in a game, before they've decided whether to stay. This engagement focuses on three connected layers.

Onboarding Flow

Sequencing what a new player sees and does first, and how quickly they reach a meaningful moment in the game.

Early-Session Pacing

How the first few sessions are structured so new players understand the game without feeling rushed or stalled.

Retention Foundations

Laying groundwork in the first-run experience that supports players coming back, without relying on specific findings yet publishable.
