moreLanguage learning resources are constantly evolving along- side technology. One of such resources is REAP.PT, a system which aims to raise users proficiency in the Portuguese language in an inter- active manner. Its current features include text-based exercises. This paper describes the evolution of REAP.PT aiming on locative preposi- tions used to describe the spatial position between objects. In this new REAP.PT, exercises take place in a 3D environment, and are comple- mented with gaming aspects to make them more appealing to students. The game scenario is an office, where each room contains different exer- cises. Completing exercises awards the student with points that unlock harder rooms. This provides the student with a challenge and a sense of progression. We believe that with these gaming aspects, students will have increased motivation to complete exercises.
