The story

1

A world of living words

Once upon a time, every word in the world was a creature: the apple laughed, the cloud cried rain, the robot danced. They were the Loudlings.

2

Then came The Hush

The Hush silenced them all. Without words the world lost its color, and Mumble, his mouth zipped shut, started keeping the silence for her.

3

One little egg was left

From it hatched Pip, a little speech bubble who can only say one thing: “Ba… ba… ball!”

4

Every word brings color back

Every word you learn together speaks again, and a piece of the world gets its color and sound back. Pip grows with you.

How it works

A match in three steps

Easy to learn, with lots of room for strategy. And your first match is guided by Pip, step by step.

  1. 1

    Play words

    Every card is an English word with an energy cost and a power. Tap it to hear it, then play it in one of three places.

  2. 2

    Use places and powers

    Each place changes the rules, each card has a power, and words that go together (milk + cookie!) get a bonus side by side.

  3. 3

    Win 2 of 3 places

    Six turns, played by both sides at the same time. Whoever has more power in two places wins the match.

Why it’s different

Made to make you want one more match

Pip’s requests

Every turn Pip asks out loud for an English word. Answer it and get power. In a row, it’s worth more and more.

70 combos

Words that go together help each other: milk and cookie, monkey and banana, moon and star. Every combo you find goes into your book.

Hunts

The cat hunts the mouse, the dog hunts the cat. Watch who you put near whom, on both sides of a place.

BOOM!

Feeling confident? Hit BOOM and double the stars at stake. On the last turn they double again. Or quit early and lose less.

Sleepy cards

When you start forgetting a word, its card falls asleep. Use it again and it wakes up. Review that never feels like studying.

Immersive mode

Want to dive in? In Immersive mode the whole game is in English, with no translation at all.

Shout!

Say the word out loud as you play the card and it gets +1. The microphone is optional and your voice is recognized on your own device: nothing is recorded or sent.

The World 1 boss

Collect all 150 words and face Babysitter Shush: requests only as sound, cards without translation. Win, then chat with her in English at Snack Time.

The cards

Meet some creatures

Each one has a voice, an example sentence and a power that fits the word.

Real learning

You play. The game takes care of review.

Behind the matches there is a memory for every word that knows when you’re about to forget it and brings the card back right on time.

1

Sound first

Every word has a voice. You hear it before you read it, the way you learned your first language.

2

Spaced repetition

Recalling a word you had almost forgotten strengthens memory far more than repeating a fresh one. The game uses that for you.

3

Pip’s quiz

Every day Pip says words and you find the picture. No text, no translation. It gives a pack a day.

4

We really measure it

In the beta we measure how many words players remember a week later, by sound alone. No magic promises.

How you learn →

Your way

Two ways to play

Normal

English with Portuguese help: translations and explanations beside the words, fading away as you learn.

Immersive

English and only English: story, tutorial, cards and menus. For those who want to dive into the language.
