Special projects The tools I build when the classroom doesn't fit.
Sometimes a student needs something a regular lesson cannot give them, so I build it. Two are here: Scrap Tactics, an IELTS vocabulary game coming to Google Play and Steam, and the quest engine, used by real students in Bangkok.
Coming soon to Google Play and Steam
Scrap Tactics. An IELTS vocabulary game.
An arena survival roguelite where learning IELTS vocabulary makes you stronger.
You play a scrappy combat robot in a walled scrapyard while waves of rogue machines close in. Your weapons aim and fire on their own, so all you do is move. Between waves you answer a vocabulary question, then spend the scrap you collected on weapons and modules that stack into stranger and stranger builds. Survive 20 waves to win, then keep going in Endless.
Learn over 1,000 IELTS-ready vocabulary terms from band 4.5 to 8.5+. Correct answers lead to power-ups you can use to dominate the scrapyard.
Coming soon to the Google Play Store and Steam. Until then, play the 3-wave demo free in your browser, on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Built in-house · works on any course
The quest engine. A game layer on real lessons.
Every correct answer earns XP. XP buys parts for a character the student builds and keeps, and daily quests and a welcome-back ladder bring them back tomorrow.
The odds are published, there is no money anywhere, and nothing in the game can change a mark: the only way to earn is to answer correctly. It first ran on a 12-week SAT course. These screens are from Grammar Quest, a young learner's reading and writing course built on it.
Want one with your curriculum inside?
I build custom educational games and tools for schools and tutors: your word lists, your question bank, your progress reports, your brand. If your students are bored, that is a solvable problem.
