The app allows users to create their own team of students and a professor, and compete with their friends in various challenges to earn points based on their character’s behaviour in the show. The idea was to engage the show’s audience in a more interactive way. In this case study, we’ll explore the design process, user experience, and impact of FantaAmici redesign.

The ideation process involved wireframing and prototyping to test the design with users and iterate based on the feedback.
