Common questions

Are the Arabic games free?

Every game gives you two free rounds, no account needed. Sign up and you get two more of each; Premium unlocks unlimited rounds of everything.

Which dialects can I play in?

Egyptian Arabic, Levantine, Moroccan Darija and Modern Standard Arabic. The words and sentences change with the dialect you pick, so you are not learning Fusha vocabulary with an Egyptian accent bolted on.

Do I need to know the Arabic alphabet first?

It helps. Every game is played in Arabic script, so knowing the letters makes them far easier. The interactive alphabet takes about an hour and makes everything after it easier.

Which game should I start with?

Word Scramble if you are new to reading Arabic: it shows you how letters join into words. Odd One Out and Spot the Mistake suit learners who can already read a little.

Are these games good for children?

They work for any age, though the vocabulary is chosen for adult learners: food, family, travel, work. Only Speed Round has a timer, so the rest suit a slow pace.
