React-based and mobile-first word-guessing game where players try to get their teammates to guess a word without using certain prohibited words or phrases

Explain Me That! — 🕹️ https://explainmethat.sotvoril.ru/

It is an engaging game designed to help English learners improve their vocabulary and descriptive skills. With its combination of Taboo-like gameplay and a Tinder-inspired interface, the game offers two modes: Time Attack and Card Set.

• In Time Attack, players have a limited period to describe as many words as possible, putting their creativity and word choice to the test. The challenge lies in explaining the words without using certain restricted terms. The faster and more accurate your descriptions, the higher your score!
• In Card Set mode, players are given a set of cards and must describe each word before time runs out. The countdown adds excitement and urgency to the gameplay. Can you successfully explain all the words in the set?

The game keeps track of your game time and score and provides statistics from your recent matches, allowing you to monitor your progress and see how you're improving over time. The game also offers a Free Play training mode where you can practice without affecting your overall statistics.
