Concept for Rex Entertainment Corp
End-to-end Party Mode revamp
Design & prototype by Harrison Songolo

Right now, deciding together is a form. It should be the best part of the night.

Rex's Party Mode today is a setup form, a solo swipe, and a static summary. This concept keeps Rex's exact visual language and turns the whole thing into one live, social ritual: a real lobby, co-swiping where consensus builds in real time, and a match everyone actually feels. The phone below is interactive, tap through it.

What I'd change and why

Today

Setup, solo, summary

"Create a Party" opens with "fill out the details below." Then each person swipes alone, and it ends on a liked/disliked recap. It works, but the group never feels together in the moment.

The insight

The fun is the shared yes

Groups don't want a recap, they want the permission to stop scrolling and press play. That moment lands hardest when you can see the room agreeing with you as it happens.

The move

Make it live

Keep Rex's black-and-white cinematic system and the swipe you already have. Add live presence, real-time consensus, and one confident group match with a reason and where to watch.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Why this fits your group

Lands Maya's "make me laugh" and Jordan's intensity, and it's the top-rated title none of you have started yet.

Before → after, screen by screen

01
Lobby
was: a setup form

Keeps Content + Vibe, but adds live presence so the room feels alive before anyone swipes.

02
Co-swipe
was: solo swiping

Same swipe you have, now shared: see who liked each title and watch consensus climb.

03
Match
was: liked/disliked recap

The recap becomes one confident pick, a plain reason, who agreed, and where to stream.

04
Same DNA
unchanged

True black, heavy type, white pill CTAs, the REX shield and tab bar, all preserved.

Built for your engineers

What ships with this

  • Editable Figma frames for every screen, with an auto-layout component set matched to Rex's system (status pills, list rows, poster card, tab bar).
  • This interactive prototype so the team feels the motion and timing, not just static comps.
  • Design tokens pulled from your app: true black, greys, iOS accent green/amber/teal, radii, type scale.
  • Edge states mapped: empty lobby, guest still joining, no-consensus tie, offline, and re-vote.

Why me for this handoff

  • I'm a product-minded builder: I design in Figma and ship production code, so I spec things engineers can actually build.
  • I match an existing system instead of imposing a new one, this concept was reverse-engineered from your live app.
  • I move at startup speed and default to interactive prototypes over decks.
  • Available for a fast-moving 5-week sprint through September 1.
Same Rex. Same swipe. Now everyone's in the room together when the match happens.

Immediate start · through Sep 1

Independent design concept created to illustrate an approach for the Rex Party Mode brief. Built by reverse-engineering Rex's public App Store screenshots to match its real design system. Movie titles and streaming badges are representative placeholder content and would use Rex's live catalog. Rex branding shown is an approximation for concept purposes.
