PVP on Duolingo versus screen between UNINDRA and GUNDAR

01 — Overview

Project overview.

This concept explores how a competitive mode could work inside Duolingo without feeling disconnected from the original app.

The flow introduces opponent matchmaking, a live language challenge, match results, point changes, and a rank history screen.

What I focused on.

04 — Reflection

What I learned.

This project helped me practice adding a new feature to an existing product without losing its visual identity. I also learned to keep the interaction flow simple across several competitive states.
