Learn a room's objects in another language, then race a scavenger list to find and tap each one.
Each level has two phases. First, in the learn phase, tap any object in the room to study its Spanish name. When you start the run, a scavenger contract calls out items one by one and you must tap the right object as fast as you can. Wrong taps add a time penalty, so study pays off.
Roomscape Lexicon teaches everyday vocabulary by placing words on the objects in a room you explore.
Studying objects in a room by tapping them, then hunting them on command, is close to total physical response — the method that ties vocabulary to physical action and location rather than to lists.
Splitting the level into a learn phase and a run phase is the original structure.
Room vocabulary is the standard beginner set precisely because the referents are present. Learning a word while looking at the thing gives it a context to be recalled from, which is why a scavenger hunt retrieves better than a flashcard of the same words.
