TILE

Inspiration

We noticed how students lose motivation with repetitive chores like laundry and dishes. We wanted to turn those boring moments into something social, aesthetic, and fun. T.I.L.E. was inspired by the idea that even the most ordinary tasks can become meaningful when they’re shared and gamified.

What it does

TILE turns chores into 10 minute competitive rounds. Students join a public match or private room, complete their tasks, and the winner earns a custom tile that expands into a shared mosaic shaped like a shirt or plate. It blends motivation, aesthetics, accessibility, and friendly competition into one simple flow.

How we built it

We designed TILE in Figma with modular components for tiles, mosaics, leaderboards, timers, and room logic. We focused on clean, minimal UI; dynamic tile generation; accessible input like voice; and a responsive screen flow that keeps users moving smoothly from match to match.

Challenges we ran into

Our biggest challenges were designing a mosaic system that updates accurately with multiple players, keeping the UI visually clean while adding gamified elements, and ensuring fairness in self-reported scores. Matching players, integrating accessibility, and creating a consistent aesthetic with constraints also pushed our design skills.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of creating a full end-to-end experience: from onboarding and tile creation to real-time competition and evolving mosaics. We built a product that feels fun, calm, and intuitive. transforming chores into something people actually want to do.

What we learned

We learned how to design competitive experiences without overwhelming users, how to build modular UI systems for fast iteration, and how to balance minimalism with dynamic, game-like interactions. We also deepened our understanding of figma and figma make.

What's next for TILE

Next, we want real automation: voice-tracked scoring and haptics. We plan to refine our color system, improve accessibility, and evolve TILE into a platform that gamifies everyday life, beautifully and socially.
