tiptoi

Die internationale Sprachen-Rallye

In this edition the tiptoi pen takes players onto a multi-lingual language trip, players will encounter a total of eight languages, including German.

First, you need to download the audio file to the tiptoi pen, the pen is not included in this edition! The game features task / location boards and the pen gives tasks to the players who need to resolve them. Players receive assistance from the children on the control panel, who speak German and one of the seven other languages – English, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. All tasks are organized to follow a similar scheme – 1. Identify language & translation, 2. Solve task & assist a person, and 3. Evaluation & Reward. The reward is a letter chip for the secret solution term.

Locations are Cook and Restaurant, a map of Europe, a Hotel as well as the downtown district of a city and a city map. Tasks concerning the Cook board may be to find the ingredients that the cook needs, or to find out who ordered what to assist the waiter or to find the origin of a song to assist a guest. For a simpler game players can choose three languages themselves, in a more difficult version the pen chooses the languages. When all rally tasks have been resolved, you try to combine the letters you got for awards into the solution. The pen gives information, if and how many letters are missing and provides small clues for the solution.

Somehow, I could direct you to other tiptoi reviews for the conclusion as it is the same as usual – pen and games for it are an unusual, very well-working, entertaining and playful way to transport information and knowledge content.
