Amazing app for Sn2

This app was very helpful and fun in learning the Sn2 mechanism.

Amazing perfect sn2

This helped fill in many of the gaps in my knowledge of sn2. I hope the developer considers adding at least sn1 e1 and e2 as well!

Unclear

This game throws ya’ right in with no tutorial, therefor it is unplayable. Without clear instructions outlining the steps to success in the game my friends and I could not move onto the next level.

🤩

This is really helpful! I have a short attention span, so making studying a game has helped me tremendously.

Actually Really Fun

I am failing Organic Chem right now and in a desperate bid to understand something about it, I took to Google for research. Found this app and have been glued to it for the past 40 minutes. It’s surprisingly fun and addicting and it teaches you concepts along the way. Very enjoyable game!
