The application is designed based on theoretical foundations of gamification and language acquisition in aiding the learners to learn words effectively in an engaging manner. It uses several localised metaphors in creating suitable learning paths for learners to learn words as they complete well-designed learning missions. As they complete each mission, they are able to acquire set of contextualised words and the app is capable of mapping out their acquisition of much-needed literacy skills (reading and writing).
