It's looking good! I have two questions right now.
Firstly, technically, you're helping Wikidata directly, and only helping
Wikipedia indirectly. What is the thought process behind saying "Help
Wikipedia!" and not something more accurate?
I find it a little frustrating to not know *how* it is that I've helped
Wikipedia. I thought "Sure, I'll help Wikipedia! No, he didn't go the Pratt
Institute. Oh, well, what did I do?". It actually slightly disinclined me
from wanting to do it again, because I wasn't really sure what I'm doing.
On the other hand, you don't want to be overly verbose and show people too
much information. Have you thought about adding a prompt to get more
information for those that are curious?
These questions are kind of idealistic and not so practical, but I enjoy
being able to take off my very practical product owner hat from time to
time. :-)

During Wikimania, me + Kaldari + Sherah did some
in-person testing of a
prototype mobile Wikidata game that Sherah built during the hackathon.[1]
I've finally transcribed the notes from the testing sessions & thought it
might be useful/interesting for folks to read through the summary and raw
notes:

The tl;dr is that we've definitely got some iterating to do on the UX and
copy to make this a better, more understandable, less intimidating
experience for less experienced/non-Wikipedian users – but it was great to
get that feedback early on so we can act on it before writing any of the
live code :)
Lemme know if you have any questions – and Kaldari + Sherah, feel free to
add anything you remember from the testing :)
