I built a planning poker app that looks like an 8-bit RPG

As a kid I spent years glued to my Amiga, dreaming about making a game. Turns out the game I ended up building is a sprint planning tool.

What is it?

Estimate Quest is a planning poker app for agile teams with a retro game aesthetic. Your team joins via a link (no signup), picks pixel art avatars, and votes on story points in real-time.

What makes it different?

  • 8-bit music plays during voting
  • Cards flip with retro sound effects when the moderator reveals votes
  • Outlier detection highlights where your team disagrees
  • Moderators can queue tickets and control the session flow
  • Works on any device, no accounts needed

Tech stack

  • SvelteKit + Svelte 5
  • Convex (real-time backend)
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Claude Code as my pair programmer

My team at work actually used it on a real project — watching people smile during estimation was not something I expected.

Would love feedback!
