NBC | The Million Second Quiz - App design

The Million Second Quiz is an American television game show produced by All3Media America. It commenced broadcasting on NBC on September 9, 2013.

The show follows a group of contestants who compete for up to $2 million in a quiz competition across 1,000,000 seconds (or 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds). NBC aired one-hour segments each day while the rest of the show was viewable from within the Million Second Quiz app, available on iOS and Android devices, and on NBC.com. I was part of the team who came up with the initial concept for the app, the designs and the gamification icons.

The app was released 4 weeks before the show opened, if you wanted to be a contestant you could qualify by playing the 24/7 head to head game. You could also play along live and in sync with the TV. Over 29 million games played by more than 1.9 million players and it was #1 in the US app store.
