3D game · Bonus

🎒 ¡Busca los objetos! — 3D classroom hunt

A first-person 3D classroom. You have 2 minutes and 3 lives to find 5 named objects — listening for both the noun (un cuaderno · una regla · un lápiz) and the colour agreement (rojo / roja · amarillo / amarilla). Distractor items appear in other colours, so noun-adjective agreement is the trick. Works on desktop (WASD + mouse) and on phone/tablet (joystick + tap). Spanish voiceover prompts and an audible name when you pick up the right thing.
