Forget boring quiz apps where you just tap "A, B, or C" and move on. Hayala flipped the script on Arabic trivia by asking one simple question: What if the funniest answer could beat the "right" answer? We built a game where your wit matters just as much as your knowledge, turning every question into a mini comedy show. Friends gather around phones, families compete at dinner tables, and everyone's laughing while actually learning something. That's the Hayala magic!

The creation of Hayala implied discarding the dull quiz app rulebook and coming up with an entirely new one in Arabic, full of laughter and unexpected twists. And this is the way we became curious about what if. A few seconds after the victory, “Oh wow!” Experiences.
We did all the quiz games in the world (literally, all the quiz games in the world) and asked questions to Arabic speakers as to what makes them laugh. Surprisingly, wit is easier to translate than jokes, which is good to know!
Put our group in the room and gave us whiteboards and snacks and made us create a scoring system where creativity was better than memorization. In three days, we came out with the formula of Hayala.
Collaborated with Arabic comedy creators, teachers, and trivia lovers to design 1,000 questions that are either giggle-inducing or mind-blowing. Quality control was playing every question 10 or more times.
Constructed, checked, malfunctioned, repaired, again. Our beta testers turned into our most critical and most ardent fans, and it forced us to make every contact with them easier and more entertaining.
Fine-tuned animations until they were perfect. Tuned sound effects until they were pleasant but not irritating. Ensured that all of the screen transitions were as smooth as butter.
Launched into the market, then stuck to the user comments. All ideas were taken into consideration. Every bug got squashed. Any good idea became part of the following update.
