Reponzi – A Cultural Quiz Game for Swiss Cities

Reponzi is a web-based cultural quiz game that lets players challenge each other on local knowledge from major Swiss cities. Developed as a second-year team project at the HEIG-VD Media Engineering program, the goal was to create an improved and more user-centered version of Know Your City, focusing on gamification, collaboration, and design quality.

Context

As a follow-up to Know Your City, Reponzi was developed in a group of 6 students over the course of a month. The project aimed to deepen the user experience with a more robust technical infrastructure, enhanced user journey, and meaningful gamification opportunities. Players can challenge each other on cultural questions and earn points to unlock rewards.

The project was organized into three departments:

UX & UI Design
Infrastructure & Modeling
Web Development

My Role

I served as the Project Manager, implementing Agile methodologies using ClickUp to coordinate planning, timelines, and task delegation. I also handled internal communication via a structured Discord server, with dedicated channels and a naming convention for clarity.

In addition to management, I was actively involved in UX Research, where I contributed to user journey design, feedback loops, and early-stage usability testing.

Project outcomes

Ultimately, the project built upon the foundation of Know Your City and was successfully delivered as a fully functional demo at the end of the semester. The team effectively implemented an agile project structure across three departments, ensuring smooth collaboration and clear communication throughout the development process.
