About the game

Your child learns English while exploring İstanbul.

Not studying. Playing.

In Wordistan words are not lined up in a list. They stand inside the game, glowing on the objects whose names they carry. The child walks, comes closer, discovers — and does not forget, because they found it themselves. There is no penalty for a wrong answer; every piece of feedback encourages.
