Play WordTrotter and Help Send Poor Kids to School

WordTrotter is a word game, a puzzle game, and a casual-action game rolled into one with a very simple gameplay: you only have to catch letters to form a word.

The amazing thing about this game is you get to build your English vocabulary—whether you like it or not.

And through the WordTrotter Play 4 Scholars Project, you get to help raise funds for more than 8,000 underprivileged scholars of Caritas Manila, the lead Catholic agency for social services and development.

The Play 4 Scholars Project is a play-to-give drive that encourages people to raise funds for the benefit of Caritas Manila’s scholars by simply playing WordTrotter.

It provides a fun and educational way of helping poor kids – at no cost to you.

All you have to do is click on the Play Now button and you’re on your way to changing their lives.

The project’s web site (http://www.play4scholars.com) allows you to play Wordtrotter, boost your vocabulary, have fun, and earn one centavo at a time to help send poor kids to school.

For each word that you get right, a sponsor donates one centavo to Caritas Manila’s scholarship fund in your name. It is pooled with other donations to provide the scholars and their families with the following benefits:

• formal and non-formal education–elementary, high school, college, and vocational levels
• values formation for leadership, family life, and environment protection
• sacramental appreciation
• primary health care, nutrition, and crisis intervention
• child rights protection
• livelihood and skills training
• opportunities for self/wage employment
• other socio-economic development programs

Wait! Watch your words.

You can enjoy Wordtrotter as a word game, a puzzle game, or a casual-action game, but you’ll have to watch your words (literally) because it is addicting and so much fun you’ll hardly notice that you’re actually building your vocabulary as you play.

But you’ll see that you’re raising funds for Caritas Manila’s scholars.

You will receive an email regarding the details of your donations. Your Play 4 Scholars site profile will also display the total amount you have donated to help you keep track of the money you have helped raise.

Play 4 scholars now!

Can you Find the Word that will Save the World?

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

WordTrotter is a word game, puzzle game, and casual action game rolled into one with a very simple gameplay: catch runaway alphabet characters to form a word.

But in this game, you just don’t guess the correct word; you also solve a magical mystery and fight villains and monsters.

The game is about the uncanny word bugs known as Wordtrotters that must risk their lives in a perilous quest to find the Anti-Spell, a secret magical word that will save the world from being destroyed by the curse of an evil witch.

Find the word. Save the world.

The game takes you to a unique bug world called Wordth plunged into darkness by the curse of the word witch Grimmar. The world is dying; Grimmar and her monsters are devouring and destroying it.

To save the world, you must play the role of a word bug, the Wordtrotter, on a quest to catch mystical alphabet bugs that form a secret magical word called the Anti-Spell.

It is the only thing that can reverse the curse.

Point and click with your mouse to guide the Wordtrotters, Woogly, Weegly, and Whaagly, to catch mystical alphabet bugs to form the Anti-Spell.

Watch out! Grimmar has discovered your mission, dispatching her bug-eating monsters, the Buggers, to smother you. If you fail, they will devour your Wordtrotters—alive.

You must beat the clock to catch other game words to move on to the next stage and continue playing until you find the Anti-Spell.

Hot tip: Try not to be a Bugger’s lunch!

And yes, it’s a vocabulary builder!

Interacting with other game characters will yield word clues like synonyms, antonyms, or definitions, enhancing and upgrading your word arsenal in the process.

WordTrotter will methodically boost your vocabulary by familiarizing you with the words. Once you “meet” a game word, it will stick with you for a lifetime.

Fun, Fun, Fun!

It is sticky, addictive, and so much fun you will hardly notice that you’re actually enriching your vocabulary as you play!
