This idea has been with me for nearly 19 years — it first came to life during my early startup days with Marvel Apps, back when the iPhone launched and I was one of the first approved developers for the Apple iPhone SDK. The tech just wasn’t ready then, but I recently dug up my old notes and realized the time is finally right. In just over a week, I built TapOut Trivia, powered almost entirely by AI — from generating the trivia questions (the biggest hurdle for scale) to handling push notifications and game logic. It fully leverages Apple’s ecosystem: widgets, Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, real-time multiplayer across the globe — all integrated. What I’ve learned through this journey is that competition is core to engagement. Yes, rewards and money are exciting (we give back up to 90% of ad revenue to players), but it’s really about the thrill of playing with friends — or total strangers — and surviving just one more round. Excited for you to try it. Let’s see who taps out first.
