Straylings has been developed to test the players mastery of skills, and to identify gaps in the players knowledge or abilities.The game is just as exciting for those who are good with the skill topic and want to measure their prowess.
We want you to have a growth mindset and use flipped learning principles. Test yourself and learn from your errors. Be alert! One incorrect choice will put you on the wrong path and winning is nigh impossible. Your best strategy is to work out why you made the error and then replay the game.
Straylings can be played alone, or under the supervision of a parent or teacher.
