The project will utilize the use of smart phone capabilities combines with the game approach to create an interactive mobile game-based learning which enables the user to learn writing in Jawi that applied for primary school students‟ level. The objectives of the project are to design and develop a mobile game-based learning application for Jawi to grant mobility for primary students, and investigate the effectiveness of the mobile game-based learning application in facilitating the learning of Jawi. The project begins with data collection and analysis and proceeds to development of the mobile game-based application. The development of the application starts with, planning, and continue with project analysis, design and implementation. The finding on the effectiveness of the mobile game-based application is gathered through user testing and survey. From the result, this project has advantage to be a helpful learning aid in facilitating the learning on writing in Jawi
