Many errors
“For” is not a verb.
Great Concept—Poor Execution
I see that other users have identified the problems. Where are the fixes? Seriously.
Fun learning experience well worth the price.
Thanks Mignon for putting time into creating this fun and educational game.
Good as a parts of speech review but not great
Unlike some other reviewers, I wasn't expecting fancy graphics and effects, so I wasn't disappointed, and I didn't have any technical issues. I was looking for a decent parts of speech review to recommend for students, and I think this is a decent one. In the upper levels, however, a few words are not correctly classified, especially a few participles classified as verbs. For instance, in the phrase "cooking class," "cooking" is describing the class and is therefore a participle, not a gerund as the game purports.

Lackluster, disappointing
When I first started the game I enjoyed it and was ready to recommend it to all of my LA students. Fortunately, I continued to play before making the recommendation. I love your podcast, and I find you to be an excellent resource for improving language use. This game, however, has several incorrect answers in it. The most common has to do with the verb; it often has the player label the past participle verb as a participle, but the participle should be a verbal used as an adjective. In addition, there are at least two cases in which the game labels an adverb as a preposition when it has no object.
