Five games built from your set, not from a word list.

A knight who strikes when you answer right. An interviewer whose face tells you how it is going. Prompts that fall, a crossword, and sixteen tiles against the clock. Every game is open to anyone on a public set; the two that grade your writing use your own AI keys.

  • Just for fun

    Nothing a game sees goes into your record. Play as badly as you like; your memory is untouched. The only thing saved is your place on the set’s leaderboard.

  • Made from key points

    A long definition becomes a short prompt — "WACC stands for ___" — so arcade formats work on cards that are paragraphs.

  • Leaderboards per set

    Every game keeps a board for every set: best score, best mood, fastest time. Sign in with a handle to appear on it.

Why does a deferred tax liability reverse?

Gauntlet — a knight, 100 HP, twelve enemies

Each right answer is a strike; each wrong one is a hit you take, harder the deeper you go. Miss a card and you see it in full before the enemy asks a different one. Every third kill a magician offers a heal or a curse for the next foe. Multiple choice, or type the answer and let your accuracy be your chance to hit.

The panel: Walk me through what happens to the three statements when depreciation goes up by 10.

Net income falls by 6 after tax, cash goes up by 4 because you add back the 10…

The panel: And on the balance sheet — what balances the drop in PP&E?

Hot Seat — the interview, before the interview

An interviewer dressed for the subject, a soft clock, and a face that reacts to every answer. Miss a point and they probe it — you never see the point itself, only the follow-up. Three difficulties; the hard one has more questions and less patience.

Blitz and Crossword — short prompts, fast hands

Prompts fall in lanes and you tap the answer before they land. Or take the same prompts as crossword clues and fill the grid. Both work on any set with enough short answers inside it.

Match — eight pairs, one screen

Sixteen tiles of short key points, a timer, and the fastest time on the set’s board. Never a paragraph on a tile.
