“단어 기억이 안 나 이게 뭐더라” 나이를 먹어서 그런건지, 젊은 치매인건지, 건망증인지 걱정되시죠? (물론 제 이야기이기도 합니다ㅠㅠ) 책을 읽으려 해도 시간이 없고, 막상 읽어도 어휘력이 느는 것 같지는 않고. 바로 이런 생각에서 ‘어휘역’이 만들어졌어요. 이 게임은 자주 사용하지 않아 잊혀져 가는 단어를 떠올리게 하여 사라져가고 있는 우리의 어휘력을 지키고 강화시켜줍니다. [게임 방법] 우리는 한 단어를 맞혀야 해요. 연상할 수 있는 단어들을 최대한 많이 떠올려 보세요. 추측한 단어가 정답과 얼마나 가까운지를 연관도 점수로 알려드려요. 높은 점수를 받은 단어일수록 정답에 가까운 거죠! 아! 이 게임의 정답과 입력 단어는 ‘명사’로만 제한되어 있어요. 우리가 자주 잊어버리는 단어가 대부분 '명사'이기 때문이죠. [장점] '어휘역'은 단순한 게임을 넘어, 일상에 도움을 줄거에요. 첫째, 다양한 단어를 접하고 사용하면서, 자연스럽게 어휘력이 넓어질 수 있어요. 둘째, 단어들 간의 관계와 유사성을 배워 언어 이해력을 향상시킬 수 있어요. 셋째, 단어의 조합을 고민하며 상상력과 창의적인 사고를 자극해요. 이 게임은 학습과 재미를 결합하여, 자연스럽게 어휘력을 즐겁게 키울 수 있는 환경을 만들어줘요. 어린이부터 어른까지, 모든 사람들에게 적합한 게임이에요. '어휘역'과 함께 단어의 세계를 떠나보세요!

Answer trivia, find the scattered treasures. A town once stood in the middle of the mist. A band of friends, the First Expedition, walked out its gate, and wherever they truly learned something, the mist lifted and land appeared. Then one night the treasures they had made together scattered. Today, a companion is waiting for you at the gate. A STORY IN EVERY REGION History, science, economics, culture, geography, sports, trends, religion, language, law and philosophy each have a region of their own. Answer a region's questions and its story opens one chapter at a time, with your name and your chosen companion in it. A guide waits in every region, and each story reveals another page of what happened that night. TREASURES TO MAKE Finish a quest and a chest is waiting. Gather the shards inside to make a treasure. Rarer treasures shine brighter, and every treasure you make opens a hidden story the main chapters never tell. WHAT KEEPS IT GOING Questions you get wrong come back as monsters. Beat one and it returns further out — 1 day, then 3, then 7, then 14 — until it's gone for good. That's spaced repetition, played rather than scheduled. GROW AS YOU GO • XP, levels and titles that change with the fields you care about • A companion that gears up as you level • An exploration map that brightens as your stats in each field rise • 1:1 duels: same five questions, first correct answer takes the round GAME ALLEY Off the town square, the First Expedition's knowledge games live on as shops. In Put in Order you line up four cards, in Best Estimate you guess a number within a stated margin, and in Fill the Blank you complete a sentence. Everyone plays the same rounds, streaks score bigger, and hints or retries cost chances. Your average sets your rank and tier (Alley Boss, Regular, Guest or Wanderer), and the XP you earn counts toward your level. HOW IT'S PAID FOR Two free explorations a day. After that, exploration tickets — earned through invites, level-ups and streaks, or bought. Subscriptions (Explorer, Pathfinder) and a one-time Atlas Lifetime raise or remove the daily limit. Review battles against monsters never cost anything. One Game Alley round a day is free (two on Explorer, three on Pathfinder, unlimited on Atlas Lifetime); after that, one ticket per round. LANGUAGES Questions, explanations and stories are available in English, Korean and Japanese. The whole pool follows the app language — including the Korea-specific fields, so Korean orthography, K-pop, Korean history and the domestic leagues are all playable in English. Over 10,000 questions, the same pool in every language, and your record carries over when you switch. It also runs on the web at loreup.app. Terms of Service: https://loreup.app/en/terms Privacy Policy: https://loreup.app/en/privacy
