100% Spanish
Every menu, hint and line of dialogue is in Spanish. You work out the meaning from context, pictures and play, not from translation.
How it works
You learn by playing a real game, not a quiz with a story on top.
Fully voiced
Every line is spoken aloud by a cast of Spanish-speaking voices. Replay any sentence, or hear it slowly with the 🐢 button.
Two levels
Beginner: short sentences, slower voices, object names on screen. Intermediate: every line rewritten with richer vocabulary, past tenses and natural speed.
Tap any word
Underlined words open a picture and a simple Spanish definition. Every word you discover is saved in your in-game diary.
The games

Point-and-click mystery
El Faro de Valdeluz
A lighthouse, a missing keeper and a twenty-year-old secret on the coast of Galicia.
You arrive by night train after a letter from the old lighthouse keeper: «No fue un accidente.» He's vanished. To find out what really happened to your grandfather, you'll talk your way through the village bar, piece together clues and order a drink in Spanish. You'll also crack a code you only hear spoken aloud.

Arabian Nights adventure
La Lámpara de las Palabras
A vizier is stealing Baghdad's words. Find the magic lamp before he does.
Scheherazade has been captured, and all over the city people are forgetting their words. With a secret phrase, a flying carpet and a very literal genie, you'll need to say exactly what you mean. The puzzles are built on Spanish itself: ordering a story you only hear, following directions across the desert, answering riddles and phrasing your wishes word-perfectly. It's a step up from El Faro.

New · Sci-fi adventure
Náufragos de Umbra
Your ship crash-lands on a glowing alien world. Repair it, rescue your crew, and find out who is singing to the sky.
A strange signal pulls the Esperanza down onto Umbra, a jungle planet under two moons. Your commander is injured, an engineer is lost in a dark cave, and the natives don't speak a word of Spanish yet. To get home, you'll teach an alien his first Spanish words, follow a repair procedure step by step and guide a crewmate by radio (his left isn't your left). You'll also ask an elder's permission politely and set the launch clock to the right time.
More games on the way
New short games are in production. Each one practises a different skill: listening, reading, following directions, holding a conversation.
Use headphones or speakers: listening is half the game.
Best on a computer or tablet. On a phone, turn it sideways.

Questions
How much Spanish do I need?
Beginner mode is for learners who know basic words and the present tense (roughly A1–A2). Intermediate mode suits learners who are comfortable with past tenses (around B1). You can switch level at any time in the game's options.
Is it really all in Spanish? What if I get stuck?
Yes, and that's the point. When a word is new, tap it to get a picture and a simple definition in Spanish. When you don't know what to do next, the 💡 hint button gives clearer and clearer hints. Every line can be replayed and slowed down.
Which Spanish will I hear?
El Faro de Valdeluz is set in Galicia, Spain, and most dialogue follows Spain's Spanish (including vosotros). The characters have different accents from Spain and Latin America: Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Chile. La Lámpara de las Palabras is told by a Latin American narrator, and its cast mixes accents from across Latin America and Spain. Náufragos de Umbra has an international crew from Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Chile.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It's free, with no ads, and you don't need an account. Your progress is stored in your own browser. If you'd like your progress and saved games to follow you to other devices, you can optionally sign in with your email. See the privacy page.
Does it work on phones?
It's playable on a phone turned sideways, but the games are designed for a bigger screen. A computer or tablet is much more comfortable.
