An app idea I had and how I thought about pursuing it

[Berat Kales]

Hi, I just started college recently and I've thought of an idea and possibly how to pursue it. I thought of a turn based game where you would select a mini game to play with friends. I was thinking that each game should be able to have at least 4 people and some of them would be bowling, darts, and maybe some board games. I was thinking of it being similar to Game Pigeon with a variety of games to choose from and they can be played over a messenger. What I thought for this game however would be that I would propose it to a social media platform like Snapchat, or Instagram, or Facebook, so that anyone can play from any device. I have no experience in making apps but I have messed around on a game dev engine called Unity and I have some experience with that. If this sounds like a good idea, what would be a good way of executing it?

Except for Instagram you can play mini games on Snapchat and I believe Facebook too. The ones on Snapchat work with face recognition like the filters and you play by moving your head or doing gestures. The facebook ones are more classic I think. What would be different in yours?

I'm thinking the way it plays and the types of games you can play. I believe the thing that makes apps like Game Pigeon popular is how well they fit into a chat and how well the games play. They also have a lot of variety.
