HOW TO PLAY?

There are 10 stages of increasing difficulty, with 24 levels in each stage.

Each stage has a secret word at the end which you use to enter in the next stage to continue the game.

The speed of the fingerspelling in the beginning stage is slow, showing only letters. In each stage, you will notice the speed of the fingerspelling becoming faster and faster, using whole words and phrases.

The final stage, the "Challenger" stage  is a bit faster than the average fingerspelling speed used by Deaf people. If you are able to pass this final stage, then you should have gained the skills to be able to comfortably read back and understand a Deaf Person's fingerspelling! This is an invaluable asset, because you'll be able to converse with them even if you do not know any Auslan signs yet!
