💡 Inspiration
In the era of games, learning has become a chore!
We realized that millions of students force themselves through tools like Anki or Quizlet, while simultaneously spending hours effortlessly clearing puzzles in games like Wordle or Candy Crush. We asked ourselves: What if we could completely disguise studying as an addictive puzzle game?
I have fascinated by the ancient Chinese puzzle game of Mahjong !
So tada !
Flashcard 🃏📚 meets Mahjong 🎮🧩 !
Because learning 🧠 should be fun 🎉 !
The most addictive way to master anything.
Play your way to Perfect Recall.
Your brain deserves a game!
We took the universally satisfying, tactile mechanics of Mahjong Solitaire and fused them with a dynamic learning engine. The result is a tool that tricks your brain into studying by replacing the dread of learning with the dopamine rush of winning.
📋 What it does
Mahjong is a gamified educational platform that transforms boring study notes into a 3D, playable Mahjong Solitaire board. Instead of matching traditional bamboo or dragon symbols, users match educational pairs—like a Spanish or Chinese word to its English translation, a chemical symbol to its element, or a math equation to its answer.
Users can play through curated starter decks, create their own personalized decks or use our AI Deck Creator to paste in their own class notes, which the app instantly parses and reverse-engineers into a perfectly solvable, multi-layered puzzle.
Add in a speed-timer and you have an engine built for intense, high-speed active recall.

🚀 How we built it with MeDo
- How we structured conversations with MeDo to build the project ?
We started the project as a simple mahjong solitaire game.
With multiturn chats, we built up the app from there.
Once the game engine was in place and the game logic was perfected, we added the request to build a deck builder so that users can create their own pairs for the game.
Then we asked MeDo to add some cool templates users can explore.
Once templates styles were optimal, we requested for a UI, UX improvements.
Lastly we added the most impressive feature using large language model (llm) plugin / skill
- The most impressive feature MeDo helped to create
The most impressive feature MeDo helped create was an AI Mahjong builder chat tailored to user's learning or fun requirements.
It elevated the project from a manual lesson cum game generator to something that speeds us creating the lessons / experiences in seconds instead of minutes.
This was done in multiturn chats leveraging the large language model (llm) skill plugin
We also optimized the app for full stack deployment.
- How you used plugins or API integrations to extend functionality ?
This was the game changer. When I discovered the plugin / API / skill integration, MeDo helped me create the entire AI chatbot functionality in just one turn which elevated the mechanical app to a truely intelligent study buddy / tutor.
🧩 Challenges we ran into
- The most challenging part was coming up with an idea. I brainstormed a lot to finally arrive at this awesome idea
- I was initially worried about credits - but the MeDo team was generous enough to provide daily bonuses to cover the entire project comfortably.
- Also, the model was very efficient. It hardly took a 100 credits to build an entire website in first turn.
🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of
- The fullstack web app that is truely intelligent, a learning buddy, a gaming buddy and an awesome idea
📝 What we learned
- Building with MeDo is easy as a breeze
