How to Play CortexQuest
Master languages and explore the world through interactive memory games
What is CortexQuest?
CortexQuest is an educational memory card game that helps you learn by matching terms with their definitions. Think of it like a digital version of the classic "Memory" game, but instead of matching pictures, you're matching important terms with what they mean!
Example: You might flip one card that says "Pythagorean Theorem" and another that shows "a² + b² = c²" - if they match, you score points and learn at the same time!
Example: Matching countries with their capitals
