LinguaQuest

Explore the world through its languages — say the right thing in a faraway market, spot words that only pretend to be twins, and trace how thousands of languages grew from shared roots.

Play the quests

Three hands-on quests — say the right thing in a real place, catch words that only look like twins, and map how the world's languages are related.

Phrase Quest ✨ new Step into a market in Tokyo, a café in Paris, a home in Amman — read the moment and pick the authentic phrase that fits, then hear what it means. Cognate Detective ✨ new A foreign word looks like an English one — but is it a true cognate or a sneaky “false friend”? Commit your guess, then uncover what it really means. Language Family ✨ new Where does a language belong? Place English, Mandarin, Swahili, and more under their family — then see the family tree and meet a relative.

Play together

A pass-and-play language face-off for the whole family — or an online room with friends.

Lingua Duel (2–4 players + online room) Take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins.

Practice the concepts

16 kits from language families and writing systems, through grammar and translation, to endangered languages and how words travel — a short round with a hint whenever you get stuck. Your progress stays on this device.

Mixed practice — revisit what you’ve learned A short round that shuffles questions from the kits you’ve played, brought back when they’re ready to review. Great for making it stick. LinguaQuest Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Lingua Quest — follow the map → A path through all 16 kits. Clear each stop, then move on — see how far you’ve come.
