About the Client:
Our client is a popular German-based startup that focuses on students’ needs in the field of event marketing, advertising services, entertainment, and public relations. Their service list includes the provision of textiles with custom prints, school newspapers, tech solutions, planning, organization, and implementation of various events, training courses, communication and marketing projects’ implementation.

About the Project:
Aside from the services mentioned above, our partner provides the coolest game app ever with various quizzes for schools. The app works as a jackpot quest with impressing cash rewards for the winning high school graduates. 

The app’s flow is as follows: 
- Users register and join the current school year as a member of the class or as a fan;
- Then plays various challenges – questions, votes or other tasks (during the day, at night, at any time and until the end of the jackpot);
- With every challenge, users collect points for their private points account and for that of the school graduating class. These points help users and their classes get to the top of the individual jackpots – regionally and nationally – and become “first” in the four different star rankings. Collected points unlock many stars; each star brings users up cash rewards for a high school diploma and graduation.

This is a cross-platform app built on React Native and Apollo, already available on App Store & Google Play. The team’s task is to keep developing it further adding new functionality. Our client also has a list of other related products & games to be developed from scratch in a long-term perspective. And they’d like to work on backend administration at the later stages.

Right now, the app focuses on:
- User-generation (setup/editing user profile)
- Gaming (create and walkthrough quiz polls)
- Statistics collection
- Share results and attract new users

In the future, the app has to also include such features as:
- Information
- Planning
- Contacts generation

Your goal will be to make the app more attractive and fully functional for users. The first results in development are expected in September.
