Exposed! Celeb Trivia

Credits: Lead Game Designer

Format: Brew and J2ME +200 handsets

Exposed is a snarky trivia game that pokes fun at all the top celebrities. Gossip magazines and TV shows served as the inspiration and source material for the game.

Exposed! was my teams first foray into original IP and over the air network functionality. Finding the proper tone and a visual style to capture the flamboyant attitude of the gossip mags was a big challenge. These magazines rely on photos for 100% of their visual punch and given licensing cost and download size, photos were off limits.

The visual style we developed met the technical limitations of the platform, featured eye catching paralax effects, and had a sexy vibe. In market tests against Sex in the City Trivia, VH1 Trivia, and Pop Trivia, Exposed! Celeb Trivia beat them across all metrics. The game was accepted by and featured on AT&T, Verizon, and Virgin Mobile.
