Released March 2009 on iPhone and iPod touch by Zynga
Roles: lead designer, user experience designer
At Zynga, I was given the challenge of bringing the excellent Facebook game Scramble to the iPhone and iPod touch. The final product — rapidly developed with a small, phenomenal team — exceeded internal expectations, and has remained a fan favorite, with new versions persisting to this day (now under the name Word Streak with Friends). The original Scramble Live featured a super-competitive live mode, as well as asynchronous challenges against friends, solo play, and the single-device “Play & Pass” mode. The game synced with your Facebook account, sharing top scores and other stats like each players’ longest word.
