Gamified Learning Platform

A Hong Kong curriculum learning platform: playable quests from kindergarten to university, subject hubs, a weekly expedition and a daily cross-subject battle, so progress sits on one account instead of in separate worksheets.

What it covers

  1. 01

    Home island

    Grade (K1–S6 and university foundation), today’s featured quest, the daily boss, the weekly expedition and review sit on one home. The interface can be 繁, 简 or EN.

    Quest vault and map

    Quests are filtered by stage. A learning map and a full-subject catalogue cover kindergarten to university. Each card opens a playable quest or a subject hub.

    Subject hubs

    Each subject has a hub with the next station, first-try evidence and related subjects. Progress uses the latest official attempt, not an estimated score.

    Playable quests

    A quest is a short run of interactive stations — for example market change and a cha chaan teng word kitchen — with a hint and an explanation. A miss can be retried in the same run.

    Weekly expedition and daily arena

    The weekly expedition is a four-station cross-subject route verified against completed quests. The daily arena is an eight-question boss for the learner’s grade, with combo, shield and three one-use skills. A miss does not end the run.

    Harbour Blaster

    A full-screen shooter over a Victoria Harbour night scene. The player aims at the correct clue; a miss does not end the wave.

The problem

Practice for different stages and subjects lives in worksheets, apps and one-off quizzes. A student who moves from primary Chinese to secondary science starts again in another tool. Wrong answers disappear after the session, so the next practice is guessed.

How it was built

The product is a Next.js and TypeScript app on Cloudflare Workers, with learner progress in D1. Quests are authored against the Hong Kong curriculum — pairing, sorting, scanning, shooting and other modes — not generated at play time. ChatGPT OAuth is used only to sign in. Grade, first-try evidence, spaced review and weekly routes read from the same attempt records.

What changed

A learner can play a market maths quest, a Chinese cha chaan teng quest and a daily boss on the same island. What was attempted, missed and due for review stays on one record. Guests can try the quests; a signed-in account keeps XP, coins, review cards and expedition progress.
