Organisers mostly publish invitations and results, and foreign quiz games offer translated content that does not help much in a Czech pub. The goal: a Czech app people come back to every day. ### Target audience Adults who go to pub quizzes and want to get better at them. They have a few spare minutes to play on the way to work or during a break. ### My role Kvízman is a product of Aestio, the studio I co-founded. I was responsible for product and design: the game loop, information architecture, the brand with Kvído the mascot, the design system and the UI for iOS and Android. Development was led by Matúš Selecký and Jan Maloušek, with Bibiana Ďureková managing the project. ![A hand holding an iPhone with the topic map in the Kvízman app](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-ruka.Dcv2HZV__ZP574s.webp) ![A question in Kvízman with the correct answer and an explanation](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-otazka.CZtCzoOr_2hLODL.webp) 02 ## Product and design ### A new reason to come back every morning The app is built on a short daily loop. In the morning, the Quiz of the Day with 20 questions in 4 topics, the same for the whole league; on Sunday, league results with promotion and relegation. In between, six minigames for a few spare minutes and a map of more than 600 topics where you collect stars. Every answer explains why it is correct. ### One colour, one number, one button The first screen designs looked like any other app and the brand was nowhere to be seen. It started working once every game moment got one colour, one big number or sentence and one button. Around that we built the brand book, a design system with category colours, a sound identity and animations of Kvído the mascot, which the app, website and social media all draw on. ![The Gold league with the Quiz of the Day card and the division leaderboard](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-liga.BX6olv0n_1hJmGx.webp) ![Promotion to the Gold league with a yellow badge](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-postup.VQoANlPv_Z1HcPeJ.webp) ![A quiz result with three stars and Kvído the mascot](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-vysledek.5gw5OOpI_Z1v2M7v.webp) ![The Kvízman logo with quiz questions and a crew of mascots](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-banner.DKDE8rtI_Z2rmqAq.webp) ![Kvído the mascot in ten poses: wizard, with a torch, superhero, with a bow, with a cookie, with a candle, flexing, on the sofa, in a sack and by a burning bin](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-kvido.DHFPtpqE_1AFgVC.webp) 03 ## Process and result ### From prototype to the stores in 11 weeks The game loop prototype came together in August 2026, the brand and design system in September, leagues, sounds and mascot animations in October. The app launched on 7 November 2026 in the App Store and on 8 November on Google Play with more than 40,000 questions in more than 600 topics. We are now collecting retention data and tuning the Quiz of the Day and leagues accordingly. The next step is an international version. 40k+ questions 600+ topics 11 weeks to release 2 platforms, iOS and Android ![The kvizman.cz website on a monitor with the headline A quiz app for adults](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-web.4geaS9Av_230KCN.webp) ![The minigames overview in Kvízman](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-minihry.DhOFscz6_2s4WD4.webp) ![The Mini Sudoku minigame with a 6 × 6 grid](https://jancikrle.cz/_astro/kvizman-sudoku.CVg2zqO__ZPae4P.webp) Credits ## Kvízman is a work by Aestio The app was designed, built and is run by Aestio, the product studio I co-founded.
