Adventure (2) - Tiles

Introducing: tiles

Once you select an island, you'll be greeted with a bunch of glorious tiles . These contain the vast majority of our content, so looking at them should make you feel very excited! (Don't worry, you'll get there.)

Maru (our mascot and beloved red panda employee) will sit on whichever tile you're currently on.

Note : Hitting complete on a tile will move Maru there, even if it's further ahead in the same region, or even in a different one!

The different types of tiles

There are essentially four different types of tiles, each with a unique color:

• 

  Grammar/cultural articles

• 

  Reading exercises

• 

  Kanji/vocab unlocks

• 

  Drills

And here they are in real life! Uhh, I mean, on the page! On the screen! Bah, you get it.

With some exceptions, the tiles on each island follow the following pattern:

• 

  Kanji/vocab unlock

• 

  Grammar lesson (x5)

• 

  Kanji/vocab unlock

• 

  Reading exercise

• 

  (repeat)

The N5 and pre-N5 islands are exceptions to this rule, as they feature various drills in addition to the regular content. In addition, cultural lessons are sprinkled throughout each region.
