TheAlphabet Game

Choose a Daily Challenge

The Alphabet Game is the classic road-trip game where players look for letters in the surrounding environment. The game starts with the player tasked to find the letter ‘A’ on a road sign, billboard, side of a truck – wherever! Once the letter is found, the player must then find ‘B’, and so on all the way to ‘Z’.

Finding letters

Once the road trip begins, the player can pan and zoom the camera to find letters in the environment. When the letter is found, draw a circle around it and the game will confirm the letter. If the letter is nowhere to be found, use the Drive buttons to advance the road trip and find new signs. You can also use the Skip button to move to the next letter.

Letter finding tips

• Keep in mind, you can read blurry text much better than a computer confirming that text can, so try to get as clean of a shot of the sign as you can by driving closer.
• Sometimes it helps to draw the circle a bit larger to get a letter to confirm.
• You might not be able to find every letter in a route. That is ok! The game will end once the end of the route is reached and your score will be tallied.
• The ‘DRIVE’ buttons are approximate distances for advancing the road trip route.

Controls

Scoring

Letters have a starting score value ranging from 100 to 600 points. That value decreases with distance traveled while searching for each letter, with a minimum of 25% of the starting value. Harder letters have a larger distance allowance before reaching that minimum. Skips are unlimited, but a skipped letter earns zero points.

Scoring tips

• Skips can be used strategically! If a letter is giving you a problem, don’t be afraid to skip it if you find the next letter. Remember, every letter is not guaranteed to appear in every route. You won’t get the points for the skipped letter, but getting back to scoring points on letters you can find may help you get a higher final score.

Daily Challenge

You get one shot at the Daily Challenge to achieve your daily score and share it with your friends for bragging rights. After completing a Daily Challenge route, it will be added to the list of Free Play routes if you want another shot at it.

Free Play Mode

Free Play offers two ways to play – A to Z or Random.

A to Z plays just like the Daily Challenge. Letters come in alphabetical order. Try to top your Daily Score!

Random will run the same chosen route, but letters come in random order, making for a very different and replayable playthrough.
