About Play+Learn
Name it before the clock does.
Play+Learn is a free naming game you play in your browser, with no download. Pick a category, like animals or countries, and name as many things in it as you can before time runs out. It's quick to start, hard to put down, and you learn a little every round: a country you'd forgotten, a plant you'd never heard of, a job you didn't know existed.
Made by Nerd Games, who make word and knowledge games that are fun first. Also on iPhone and Android.

Type and press Enter
The answer box is ready on your turn. Slip on the spelling and PlearnGPT tells you what it thinks you meant.
- 4
Watch the clock
It turns amber when time runs short and red for the last three seconds. No repeats: a name already given doesn't count.
- 5
Score and climb
Every correct answer earns points, and they add up on the leaderboard for that way of playing.
Ways to play
Duel, race, or take today's challenge
Versus PlearnGPT
You take turns. It names one, then you do, until someone misses. Every name you add is one PlearnGPT can't use.
Ends when you miss one or your turn runs out
Against the clock
Just you and a timer. Choose how long the round lasts, then name as many as you can before it runs out.

The daily challenge
One new challenge every day, the same for everyone. Finish it on days in a row and your streak grows by one each day.

The characters
A face for every category
Every category is played against PlearnGPT, the game's own player. Each character is PlearnGPT dressed for that subject.

Tips for a better score
- 1
Start with the easy ones
Get the obvious answers in early while the clock is kind.
- 2
Walk a list in your head
Countries continent by continent. Animals on the farm, then the ocean, then the jungle.
- 3
Don't panic in the red
Three seconds is longer than it feels. A short answer you're sure of beats a long one you're not.
- 4
Learn from the replay
Game history keeps every round, so you can see what you missed.
Keep going with Koins
Koins are the game's coins. When a round ends and you're not ready to stop, spend Koins to continue right where you left off. Play well to earn them: 1 Koin for every 5 correct answers in a round. Daily challenge streaks pay a bonus at 3, 7 and 30 days. Or get more in the store.
