Learning Chinese

Hanzi Quest

Chinese vocabulary training as an adventure: character alchemy and lanterns by ear.

Problem

Vocabulary sticks through frequent, short sessions. A game with points and streaks makes people come back to them.

What was built

  • Character alchemy: combining characters into words from a recipe
  • Lantern echoes: picking the word that matches a recording
  • HSK levels, points and answer streaks
  • CMS panel for managing vocabulary

System

The app itself stands out, along with the audio recordings that half the gameplay relies on.

The same seven layers in every project. The highlighted ones matter most here.
