GeoQuest

GeoQuest is an educational geography game where players identify countries, capitals, and landmarks within a time limit. The project was a self-directed game design challenge to explore UI patterns outside of typical product design — how do you create tension, reward, and delight through screen interactions?

The game UI needed to feel fast and satisfying. I designed a system of micro-interactions: correct answer pulses, wrong answer shakes, a progress bar that drains in real time. The onboarding flow introduces mechanics progressively so players never feel overwhelmed.

The visual language is dark and cartographic — muted map tones with bright highlight accents. The leaderboard and achievement system were designed to encourage replay without feeling coercive.
