We built a prize-winning live trivia app for a streaming platform’s members — native iOS and Android clients with timed questions synced to broadcast quiz events. The platform supports around 10,000 participants playing at the same time, with server capacity that scales based on the resources required for each live show.

Challenge
The client needed a member-only quiz experience tied to live broadcasts — with sub-second sync, fair play across up to roughly 10,000 simultaneous players on iOS and Android, and zero tolerance for downtime during peak TV events. Infrastructure had to grow and shrink with demand instead of running at fixed capacity year-round.
Solution
- Built native iOS and Android clients with polished UX for quiz rounds, timers, and rewards.
- Architected real-time event pipeline for question broadcast and answer aggregation at live-event scale.
- Designed elastic server infrastructure that scales up or down based on resources required per show.
- Implemented secure member auth and server-side validation of submissions.
- Released iterative updates including rewards catalogue and stability improvements post-launch.
