Challenges we ran into
Challenges We Faced
Making Wiki Rules Fun
Wikipedia's guidelines can be overwhelming. We turned them into bite-sized, interactive lessons that feel more like a game than homework.
Balancing Fun with Real Editing
Too playful, and it wouldn’t feel real. Too serious, and it’s no fun. So we built missions based on actual editing tasks—practical and engaging.
Keeping Users Motivated
To reduce drop-offs, we added rewards like badges, progress bars, and positive feedback to keep the momentum going.
Designing for All Skill Levels
From total beginners to casual editors, we made WikiWallah flexible—with hints, tooltips, and the ability to move at your own pace.
