It's Trivia. It's Social. It's Trivi.al

Do you have fond memories of playing Trivial Pursuit with your family and friends? Those are the memories that we seek to recreate—feelings of competition and togetherness—with the launch of our mobile-focused, social trivia game, Trivi.al. We're part of a small startup called MobileFWD with a big vision to create social games that are fun and challenging to play.

The trivia market is massive… and largely untapped. Each month, 1.65 million Google searches are performed on the keyword “trivia,” yet the competition for trivia-based keywords is surprisingly low. Add on the fact that those websites holding the top-ranked search result positions are plagued with poor, outdated content and uninspired game play, though they receive over 3 million monthly visitors, and you’ll see that the board is begging for a revamped version of the game.

Mobile tells the same story. There are no compelling trivia games for the iPhone, iPad, or Android markets. None of them use a heightened layer of applied game mechanics or sharing to inspire individual and/or social competition, let alone entertainment.

And, it’s not easy to do. Creating a “Words With Friends” world-class game is extremely difficult. But, we’re confident that we’ve put together the right team of experts in applications, experience, game theory, mechanics and question-writing to do it. Our team has built applications and content for a number of well-known Fortune 500 companies and actually ran a trivia website for the past few years. And, it’s our individual experiences building great products that we believe provides us with an enormous advantage as we work together here at MobileFWD on changing the way trivia is played.

MobileFWD was created in January of 2012, to excel at exactly these types of tasks: providing mobile games that are socially entertaining and educating. Trivia can be more than simply challenging and entertaining… yes, it can be brand-focused and educational, too, which is an interesting thought when you consider that we’re located in Northwest Arkansas, close to many of the world’s largest corporations and the University of Arkansas.

Your funds will allow us to hire another developer that we’ve identified, which will help bring Trivi.al to the market sooner, with more features and versions for such platforms as Android and iPad.

Our goal is to release the first iPhone version of Trivi.al in early May of 2012, we’d love your assistance to help make our dream a reality and will be sure to include you on our launch outreach list if you choose to fund our project!
