## What is Monkey King Mandarin?

Learn Chinese vocabulary through a Monkey King adventure. Hear a Mandarin word, read its Chinese characters and pinyin, then choose the English meaning to win a battle. Every answer moves the adventure forward.

LISTEN. RECOGNISE. PLAY.
Practise 156 Mandarin words across three distinct worlds. Start with everyday vocabulary such as numbers, animals, colours, family and food. Replay each word's audio and use tone-marked pinyin to connect what you hear with what you read.

AN ADVENTURE INSPIRED BY JOURNEY TO THE WEST
Guide Wukong through the Forest of Words, Bamboo Grove and Misty Hollow. Follow the stage map, face creatures and bosses, earn stars, and hunt for words in the mist.

PRACTISE AT YOUR OWN PACE
Return to a zone in endless Training to practise its word pool. A playful way for beginners and returning learners to build vocabulary recognition alongside their Chinese lessons. The game focuses on listening and word recognition; it is not a complete language course.

START WITH THE FREE FOREST
Play Zone 1 and its 76 words for free. A single lifetime in-app purchase unlocks Bamboo Grove and Misty Hollow. No recurring subscription and no advertising.

PLAY WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Progress stays on your device — no account or cloud save. Restore a lifetime purchase using the same store account and RESTORE PURCHASE on the unlock screen. Restoring a purchase does not restore game progress.

Designed for landscape play on iPhone and iPad. Families can play together, with a parent or guardian managing purchases.
