Words With Friends Game Show

Words With Friends Live is a quiz show in the Words With Friends 2 app, and everyone is a contestant. Occurring daily, all audience members can participate in quizzes about grammar, vocabulary, and associated world facts, which encourage people to make connections between language and the way that we think about the world.

I helped maximize engagement by writing delightful monologues, hilarious jokes, and accessible yet challenging trivia.

Lightning Round:

Project Summary: Daily trivia game shows for which I wrote hundreds of monologues, many hundreds of jokes, and thousands of engaging trivia questions that reliably progress in difficulty throughout each trivia set.

Deliverables:

  • Daily trivia sets with smooth difficulty ramps

  • Engaging, funny monologues

My Contribution: 

  • Script writing

  • Trivia writing

  • Comedy writing

  • UX writing

  • Research

In this episode, we made the trivia questions a bit easier so that more people would be incentivized to stick around during the inspiring interview with Garth Brooks. We also connected the trivia and interview topics so that the transitions between the game show and interview portions would be as smooth as possible.

I hosted once in a while too!

Results:

  • The show was so successful as a stand-alone game show, Zynga incorporated it into its popular Words With Friends 2 app.

  • The show was so adored by Garth Brooks that he asked to guest host.

  • 50k concurrents

“Trivia Live” is what the show was called before Zynga begged us to do it in the Words With Friends app.
