More about this game
In this educational adventure, you explore a 3D world to learn about prefixes. Your goal is to collect letters and solve word puzzles using the prefixes dis-, il-, and ir- to unlock gates to new islands. The core loop involves moving around, finding glowing word cards, and answering questions correctly to progress. The difficulty increases as you face different question types like matching, dragging, and building words. The run ends when you defeat the Word Guardian by answering 7 mixed prefix questions to restore the magic crystal.
Tips
- Look at the first letter of a word to help choose the right prefix, like using il- for words starting with l.
- Collect the 12 stars scattered around the islands for 20 extra points each before facing the final boss to maximize your final score.
- Try to answer questions correctly on your first attempt to earn 100 points instead of the 50 points given for retries.
Questions
What prefixes are in the game?
The game focuses on the prefixes dis-, il-, and ir-. You will learn how to use them to create opposites, like turning legal into illegal or regular into irregular.
How do I unlock new islands?
You need to collect all the letters for a specific prefix, like D, I, and S, and solve the word puzzles on that island to open the gate to the next area.
What happens if I get a question wrong?
You will get a helpful hint from Professor Hoot and can try again. However, you will only earn 50 points for a correct answer instead of the full 100 points.
