What knowledge practice looks like

Knowledge games are about the world: capitals and flags, when things happened, how big or how many, and whether a statement is true. Each one is a quick round of questions with the answer explained after.

In the iPhone app, lessons add a one-minute idea first, so the game that follows uses something you just read. Anything you miss comes back another day.

You’ll practice

  • World knowledge. Knowing where places are and what they’re called.
  • General knowledge. Facts across history, science, exploration and the arts.
  • Recall under pressure. Bringing a fact to mind quickly.
  • Two-way memory. Recalling a pair from either side.
  • Estimation. Judging roughly how big, long or heavy something is.
