Revision Games That Stick
Old-school revision, made into a game. For students, teachers and lifelong learners. Free · No sign-up · No student data · Just playSome things just have to be learned: the elements, the kanji, the phrases everyone else seems to know. The old way was flashcards and repetition. It worked — it was just boring. These games keep the repetition and lose the boredom.
Students: revise on your own, on your phone, at your own pace. Nothing is timed and nothing is scored against anyone else, so you can go over the same set until it sticks.
Teachers: put a game on the projector or interactive whiteboard as a warmer or a review, or send the link for homework. No accounts, no class codes, nothing to set up.
The Games
Science, languages and English. More subjects on the way.- Science · Chemistry Chemistry: The Periodic Table Symbols, what each element is used for, the ore it comes from, everyday names and formulas, what's inside a formula, what a reaction makes — and the hazard signs on the bottles.
- Languages · Japanese Japanese: Your First 800 Kanji Level by level, in the order Japanese schools teach them, eighty characters at a time — then games that put those characters back together into real words.
- English · Vocabulary English Idioms Weather idioms, colour idioms, body idioms and more — the everyday expressions that textbooks skip and native speakers use all the time. Great for ESL, IELTS and PTE.

Coming soon More subjects
New revision games are on the way. Is there a list your students keep forgetting — irregular verbs, bones of the hand, capital cities? Suggest it.
Safety note: the chemistry game teaches students to recognise elements, reactions and hazard symbols. It isn't a guide to doing experiments — don't try reactions at home, and always follow your school's lab rules. Read our disclaimer.
