Twenty-six games, driven by fingerspelling in ASL.
You fingerspell and sign your answers in ASL. The first games teach the alphabet; the rest put it to work on real subjects — math, the periodic table, state capitals, the planets. Star Patrol leads: a space blaster you beat by signing the answer before the rock lands.
Free in a browser. Captions on, keyboard fallback, no install.

How it works
Learn the alphabet, then answer with it.
Games that scaffold: learn the fingerspelled alphabet, then put those letters to work across the curriculum.
Learn the alphabet
Letter Trainer and Speed Sign teach you to fingerspell A–Z and drill it to speed. The camera reads your fingerspelling, with a recognizer trained on Deaf signers.
Sign to answer
Then twenty-plus games use that alphabet to teach a subject — sign Fe for iron, spell a capital, sort the planets, blast an asteroid. Same input, real content.
Pick your level
Most games run Easy, Normal, or Hard, with subject categories and a daily streak to keep it honest.
Real subjects, one alphabet
Spelling, the periodic table, state capitals, the planets, fractions, anatomy, constellations, free-throw math — each game teaches real content, and you sign your answers in ASL. Drill the alphabet once; spend it everywhere.

Made for a real class
The classroom plan adds a teacher dashboard with per-letter progress, leaderboards scoped to the class instead of the whole internet, curriculum tie-ins by subject, and grade passback to the gradebook over LTI 1.3. Camera-driven games that still land in the system you already grade in.
Classroom plan
No one sits out
Every game runs with the speakers muted, captions are on by default for anything spoken, and a keyboard fallback means a student without a working camera can still press A–Z and join in. Access is the floor, not an add-on.

What an installation actually is
A screen and a camera — a kiosk, a wall, or a cart that travels room to room — that the studio specs, builds, installs, and maintains, scoped to your space and the people who use it. It runs on the device itself: no app to download, no account to make. The games you want, ready to play by signing the moment someone walks up.

Questions
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Every one of the twenty-six games runs free in a browser — no account, no install. The subscription is for the classroom tools: the teacher dashboard, class leaderboards, curriculum tie-ins, and grade passback.
What is Star Patrol?
The flagship game and the one to start with. Asteroids drift down carrying equations; you sign the answer to blast the matching rock before it lands. A spelling run has you take out a target word's letters in order. Easy, Normal, and Hard set the pace and how hard it pushes back.
Do students need a camera?
It's better with one, but not required. Every game has a keyboard fallback, so a student can press A–Z if the camera can't read their fingerspelling. Captions are on by default for any audio.
What does the classroom plan add?
A teacher dashboard with per-letter progress, leaderboards scoped to the class, curriculum tie-ins by subject, and grade passback to your gradebook over LTI 1.3. Pricing is on the schools page.
Can we get a game that teaches our thing?
Yes. A custom game — built around your subject, your room, your audience — is a studio engagement. Tell us what you'd want students to practice.
Is it Deaf-first?
It is. The recognizer is trained on Deaf signers, captions are default-on, and a game never depends on sound. Built Deaf-first, which is what makes it work for every learner.
