## What is Collective Nouns?

Did you know a group of owls is called a parliament? Or that lions live in a pride and crows gather in a murder? Collective Nouns turns these wonderful, weird animal facts into a colourful learning game the whole family will love.

Join Ollie the Owl on a candy-coloured safari and discover the special names for hundreds of animal groups — perfect for curious kids, classrooms and trivia-loving grown-ups.

LEARN HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS
Browse an illustrated library of over 240 animals and their collective nouns. Tap any animal to see its name, hear it read aloud, and remember it for next time.

HEAR EVERY WORD
Built-in text-to-speech reads each collective noun out loud — wonderful for early readers and for getting tricky pronunciations just right. Choose your favourite voice in Settings.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Timed — race the clock and answer as many as you can in 30 or 60 seconds.
• Questions — a set quiz of 5, 10 or 20 questions. Great for a quick round.
• Free Play — no pressure, just keep learning at your own pace.
Each mode comes in Easy and Hard difficulty, so it grows with your child.

CELEBRATE EVERY WIN
Right answers burst into confetti, build your streak, and earn cheerful encouragement from Ollie. Wrong answers get a gentle nudge to try again — learning should feel good!

COLLECT ACHIEVEMENT MEDALS
Unlock badges as you play: First Friend, On a Roll, Super Streak, Flawless, Century Club and Explorer. There's always a new goal to chase.

BEAT YOUR HIGH SCORE
Save your best games to a colourful high-score podium and challenge friends and family to top the leaderboard.

DESIGNED FOR KIDS
A vibrant, friendly cartoon design with chunky buttons, big rounded text and a helpful mascot makes Collective Nouns easy and delightful for little hands — no reading-heavy menus, no clutter.

SAFE & PRIVATE
No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases, and nothing to collect from you. Just learning and fun.

Whether you're a parent looking for screen time that teaches something, a teacher building vocabulary, or a quiz fan who can't resist "a dazzle of zebras," Collective Nouns is for you.
