Check out the science!
Making language learning input compelling is critical to language acquisition!
This lowers the affective filter and results in children acquiring a language way better and faster! Games have been used since the dawn of time to entertain and educate kids.
Now we’re using a mobile game to entertain and teach kids a new language. There’s an academic term for what we do: FabuLingua is a “serious mobile game”.
The term alludes to the serious science that is under the hood of our mobile game, and results in children acquiring a language faster and retaining it for longer.
Overview
How to play FabuLingua's Mobile Game
Traveling to FabuLingua
How will your explorer successfully discover and get to know all the corners of this remarkable island?
By talking to the locals of course! When your explorer takes the time to hear their stories and play games with them, they are connecting with the inhabitants of FabuLingua, receiving their guidance and directions.
As explorers hear stories, they collect keys that open treasure chests. Chests contain the Magical Compasses that are needed to discover new locations.
FabuLingua's Core Game Loop
- Raad Storie
- Collect Keys
- Unlock Chests
- Discover New Locations
Each story has a Learning Path that leads to Mastery of that Story!
There are 4 Modes for each story (at the top of the path) and 4 Mini-Games for each story (at the bottom of the path)
They are arranged in alternating sequence along a zig-zag Learning Path, and unlock in sequence.
As explorers progress along the Learning Path they are moving along the path toward mastering that story.


Collect Gold Keys
Each time your explorer finishes reading a story in one of the modes, they’ll earn gold keys!
As they complete each increasingly challenging mode in each story, they earn more gold keys!

Magical Translations Mode - earn 2 gold keys

CopyCat Mode - earn 3 gold keys

Spanish Only Mode - earn 4 gold keys

Read by Myself Mode (BONUS) - earn 5 gold keys
Collect Diamond Keys
Each time an explorer completes a NEW mode in one of the stories, they earn a Diamond Key!
Diamond keys are unique and very valuable because they are the only keys that can unlock Discovery chests! So they are the only way to obtain magical compasses…
The Fabled Shop
“Buy” Treasure Chests
Explorers use their Gold and Diamond Keys in the Fabled shop.
Which treasure chests can they afford to buy with the keys they have earned?
The wooden or bronze chest, or the glittering silver or gold chest? Tap the treasure chest you have purchased to see it burst open to reveal cool rewards of playing cards and stickers!
The Discovery Chest can only be unlocked with Diamond Keys.
The Discovery Chest is different from all the other treasure chests in the Fabled Shop.
While the Discovery Chest may not contain as many stickers or playing cards as the other chests, it is the only chest that contains the prized Magical Compass!
Tap the Discovery Chest you have purchased to see it burst open to reveal a Magical Compass and some other rewards.
The Discovery Chest can only be unlocked with Diamond Keys.
Unlock New Locations
How does your explorer unlock all the exciting locations on the island of FabuLingua?
As explorers collect more compasses they will unlock new locations! In the image right below, the explorer has collected one of the three Magical Compasses required to unlock the Fabulous Falls location.

Discover new locations as your Spanish progresses!
Each new location contains new exciting stories and mini-games.
