Blast off into outer space and explore distant galaxies in this exciting digital game all about using capital letters in titles. With every correct answer, students warp between galaxies and collect cosmic objects that earn them space badges to mark their progress.

Throughout the journey, students will be shown fictional book, movie, or story titles and must select the version that uses capital letters correctly. This game builds understanding of capitalisation rules in titles, such as using capitals for the first word and important words, while leaving out smaller words like “and” or “the” unless they’re at the beginning.

Who will earn the most badges and become a space explorer pro?
