Language Detective Agency: The Lost Invitation
Find the right question before you choose the next door.
The learner experience
A little curiosity. A lasting understanding.
Recover a lost invitation in a fictional town. Choose a useful question, interpret a character's reply, and navigate to the location. A later clue requires clarification rather than another guess. Future cases reuse characters while adding vocabulary and language functions.
Imagine this moment
The spoken or written clue becomes a route only after the learner identifies its meaning.
Learning & evidence
The learning objective
Ask for and interpret location information, then clarify an ambiguous direction in the target language.
What understanding looks like
Correct interpretation, a relevant clarification question, and independently composed directions. Voice input is optional; accent similarity is not the objective.
Adaptation
Different starting points. A shared objective.
Offer replay, captions, a glossary, and phrase choices; extend to learner-composed questions and descriptions. Text participation remains available.
