Trivial Pursuit for the Iphone

I lately found the Trivial Pursuit game is on the Iphone, it features a shake of the device to roll the die, and really great up to date graphics. There are different difficulty level's ranging from really easy to really, really, really hard.  

 

This is what the game-play look's like it has your character and others placed around the screen.

I really like the way you can play with 2 or more people on the same device because some game's make your friends buy the game and you can only play multi-player between different device's,

The game-play is very easy to play and follow and there is no lag or glitches in the game so overall the app is a very successful app and it has been in the top 100 App's for a long time now and it's only 59p so its well worth a purchase.

What would be good for our game later on is if it could be sold as an app and then we could make a bit of money for our hard effort in making the game and at the moment easy money to make is on the app store but the catch is apple takes 30% from the profit's.

Aha Mind Map for our idea's more to come though

This is our group's Mind Map on most of the idea's we have thought of:

I think mind maps tell a lot about a project's idea's and the thought process.

More ideas for the 6 wedges

Today in the group we discussed more ideas to do with the 6 wedges game I will be posting later a few pictures of the mind maps we created and the process of how things will happen.

A few more ideas we added in today was:

-Location tracker which creates a line which will follow your path when you get the Qr codes.

-The Qr codes will be on posters advertising the product and also for you to get a wedge on your score board.

-There will be a random question answered when you go onto the website each time.
