Every hero starts on the home row
A superhero typing game that teaches kids to touch type with the right fingers from the very first key.
Most kids learn to type by looking down at the keys and poking with two fingers. It gets them by, but it never gets fast, because their eyes are doing the work their fingers should. Touch typing works the other way round: each finger owns a few keys, the hands rest on the home row, and the fingers learn where everything is. Once that muscle memory is in place, speed comes on its own, and it stays.
Typing Hero teaches it the way a patient tutor would. Every drill shows a keyboard and a pair of hands on screen with the right finger lit up for the next key. As your child gets confident, the keyboard fades out first and then the hands, until they are typing from memory. Drills stop on every mistake so the wrong key never gets rehearsed, and Sky Flights turn the same lesson into an arcade round, with the right finger still shown on screen, so good habits are what earn the stars.
You get a Parent Zone behind a PIN with a progress report for every kid: which keys are solid, which are slow, and a heatmap of the keyboard showing where the misses happen. There are no ads, no chat and no public profiles, and your kids' names are never shown to anyone outside your family. The only exception is the leaderboards, which are off unless you switch them on for a hero, and then they post the hero's made-up name and face, nothing more.
Pick a body, hair, suit, mask, cape and chest emblem. More styles and colours unlock as the stars come in.
Seven districts, each guarded by a villain and each teaching one thing: the home row in Downtown, the top row in Uptown, the bottom row in The Underground, capitals, numbers, then whole words and stories.
Stars for accuracy and speed, coins for the shop, and more than 50 hats, goggles, capes and sidekicks to wear on patrol.
Every district, every activity, every kid in the family. No ads, no subscription.
Roughly 6 to 12. The first lessons use just two keys and add a pair at a time, so a child who can read short words can start. Older kids who already hunt and peck get the most out of it, and the typing tests have benchmark bands by age group so you can see how they compare.
Any Mac, Windows or Chromebook laptop or desktop with a standard QWERTY keyboard, in a current browser. A tablet with a keyboard case works too. It is not built for phones or on-screen keyboards, because those cannot teach fingering.
It needs a connection to open. Once it is open, a dropped connection does not stop play: every change is saved on the device first and synced to your family account a moment later, or as soon as you are back online.
The only account holder is a grown-up. We store your email address and your kids' hero names, designs and typing progress, and nothing else. There are no ads, no chat and no public profiles. Leaderboards are off by default; a grown-up can turn them on per hero in the Parent Zone, and they show only the hero's made-up name, face and score.
Yes. One grown-up account holds every hero in the family. Each kid has their own hero, progress, stars and coins, on every device you sign in on.
