The game for memorizing German vocabulary (more languages coming soon). Game uses repeated word input and the Method of Loci (Memory Palace) as a map of Germany that you have to conquer. There are both single-player and multiplayer modes. You can learn words together with other people in real time.
Curious how the multiplayer actually works in practice, do you see other players typing in real time or is it more like taking turns on the same word list?
@ylmazwdhq "You see other players typing in real time" :)
You can see the real-time locations of other players on the map. By opening the cell they are in, you can see the word they are trying to type. If you type the word faster, the cell gets locked, leaving them empty-handed.
the memory palace approach mapped onto actual German geography is such a clever hook, makes vocabulary stick in a way flashcards never did for me
@alperergel Yeah, thanks! I noticed myself that sometimes I don't even need to look at the English word. Just seeing where the card is is enough for me to immediately recall the German word. It makes the memorization process much easier because I don't have to read the English word first and then think of its German translation. I just type it :)
