Oh thank you so much for the kind words! So neat to know that people throughout the world are using the resources I’ve gathered. πŸ™‚ (And I hope you get to eat some actually delicious ice cream before too long!)

He was turned on to it from a tutor he uses through Cambly. So your work really gets around and many teachers find it useful! My students here are techy adults, but I can still see many of the games and activities you’ve created being very helpful. Thanks for your hard working putting this out into the world!

(And just for the record, the ice cream here in Colombia generally is not very good. They literally put cheese on it sometimes!)

I have a Spanish version of my game Three Deep, but that’s it, sorry!

Thanks, Arailym! Do you mean can you add your own list of words to my app? Unfortunately, no. That’s a feature I’d love to add someday though!

Oh gotcha. Sounds fun! Taboo words sound like a great idea. In the post Three Deep I have a word list with words that go in sets of three, but I don’t think it’s quite exactly the same. Still, it might be helpful!

Thank you for your reply. I saw your word generator. That is a great resource. Password PLUS uses words that lead to a topic. Like sport, ball, hit, bat = baseball. Contestants try to guess the words then guess the topic that goes with them. So I need a word list and the topic that goes with it. I think I can useTaboo words as the topic and the forbidden words as the word list. If you think of anything else let me know. I like your website. Thank you.

I’m unfamiliar with that game. How do you play? I might have a word list already made that could be repurposed for it. I have lists of words in my word generator in different categories.

I am looking for Password PLUS words and topics that go with word groups. Do you have any ideas where I can find them?
Thanks!!!

Hi Leesha! Thank you! Congratulations on starting your own website. For website design, I would keep it simple. You can look for inspiration from other websites you like. But mostly, I would say just focus on good content. That’s more important than anything. My website definitely didn’t start out looking professional and sleek. It was very, very simple when I first got it going. But I just focused on writing posts and putting out content and eventually it grew. So just practice and experiment and you’ll do great. Starting at 12, you’re already getting a huge head start! Send me a link when it’s ready!

I’m 12 years old and I am soon to be laying foundations for a website of my own, based on fictional stories. Your website looks great! It looks very professional and sleek. Do you have any tips for how I can make my website look professional?
Thanks for the help!

Oh fun! A Zoom family game night sounds like a great break. I think you could totally make up an escape room! If you want to write your own, I have some tips. You could also buy one of my pre-made kits. I think Science Lab Breakout would be the best to do over Zoom. I’m actually working on a kit made specifically to play over Zoom. I hope to release it soon!

We are using it on zoom family game night to play Pictionary with three families who can’t hang out together during quarantine. Do you think we can make up an ‘escape room’ for youth groups to do on Zoom? They could use the break out rooms and race to break out?

I recommend the Color Crisis escape room. I designed it for ages 8 to 12. It should be perfect for your age groups.

I surprised a group of teenage robotics club members with your Science Lab Escape Room game this evening. Great job on the game. The kids really enjoyed it. Totally worth the $25. The clues were great, the graphics were great, the theme was great and you tied the whole game together nicely. Nice touch having the clues on the web sites. Very well written and thought out. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. I give you 5 stars!

I work at a drug detox and use the app to play game and relive stress. The patients always thank me for doing my group with your app. I noticed 2 weeks ago that when i tried using your app on my Iphone 6, when I try to change the difficulty level or the game i want to play it won’t let me. I think this started when one of the updates happened. I have tried to delete the game and reinstall it on my phone but nothing seems to fix this issue. I didn’t know if you were aware of this problem.I was wondering if you could look into this problem for me. Thank you for your great game and time with this.
