Is the region ready for the first Arabic quiz game?

“Online challenge games are very popular in the region. However, most of them are only available in foreign languages. That is why we decided to build the first social trivia game in Arabic that is based on two-player challenges where you have to answer questions throughout several stages,” says Ayham Gorani, an entrepreneur of Syrian origins who launched the free AlMwajaha app on the App Store in April 2014.

Gorani established his first company, called Widget Lab, back in 2007 with his cousin Saed in Germany where they both were living. Four years later, in 2011, they launched Alpha-Apps in Abu Dhabi which is still operating as a mobile game and apps-on-demand developer for clients.

AlMwajaha is the company’s first signature, self-published product. “The Arab world needs more games developed to fit the culture and language of its people, and when we noticed the huge popularity that trivia games receive around the world, such as the German QuizDuell, we decided to build the first game of this kind for the Arab world,” says Gorani.

QuizDuell, the game Gorani aspires to imitate, has more than 15 million users out of the 80 million German mobile game users, and its team is preparing to launch the game in the form of a TV show.
