In a two-day solo design sprint, I set out to reimagine the indecisive, endless-scroll experience of choosing a movie. Every movie night starts the same way: too many options, too much time wasted, and the inevitable question, “What should we watch?” FlickPick transforms that frustration into something quick, fun, and interactive.
The result is a bracket-style mobile app concept with a chic, cozy aesthetic that turns movie selection into a game—helping users effortlessly narrow down choices by picking between two films at a time.
How might we create a movie-picking experience that is fast, engaging, and reduces decision fatigue?
A bracket for better movie night picks.
Because this was a short sprint, I relied on assumptions and secondary research which revealed pain points:
Decision fatigue → too many options make the process stressful instead of relaxing
Wasted time → long scrolling sessions before settling on a movie
Default to rewatching → often choose familiar films rather than spend time deciding on something new
Goal: Quickly choose a movie that fits the user’s current mood
