Word Biome™
Spell your way through the wild.
Build words from a board of letter tiles to meet real animals, from reef crabs to cave olms. Each biome is a trail of ten stops, and a legend waits at the end.
Features
What the product does, in order of play
Build a word from the tiles on the board. Every real word fills in the field card of the creature in front of you. Longer words score more, and theme words earn a bonus.
Every creature is a real species. Tap one to open its field card: where it lives, what it eats, and a myth worth busting. Everyone you meet goes into your journal.
The Coral Reef, Whispering Woods, Crystal Caves and Misty Bayou. Halfway along, the biome throws a party and its animals turn up in costume. A new biome is planned every month.
Each creature shows its next move before it makes it. Reroll the board whenever you like. It costs a turn, so the creature gets to act.
The Daily Run gives everyone the same five creatures, ending with a legend. One attempt, then compare your score on the Game Center leaderboard and share your result card.
An easier expedition for a younger speller: easy words on every board, a Hint button, words read aloud, gentle creatures and no losing. It keeps its own stars and stays off the leaderboards.
