Quest: Gamified Learning App Design System

App · Light · Playful · Bold · Education

Quest

Streaks, XP and chunky buttons that make practice feel like a game.

Quest turns practice into a game: a lesson path on the home screen, big streak and XP numbers, royal blue for the next step and gold for rewards. Buttons and cards sit on solid offset shadows so every tap feels physical, and Nunito keeps the tone warm and encouraging.
