Mandarin Racer
An arcade lane-racing game that teaches HSK Level 1 Chinese vocabulary while you drive.
About Mandarin Racer
Mandarin Racer is an endless three-lane arcade driver where the correct answer is a lane. You see an English word, then steer into the matching Chinese translation before it flies past — collecting coins and dodging traffic along the way.
The vocabulary is real HSK Level 1 with pinyin, so the characters you keep hitting at 60fps are the ones an actual beginner curriculum starts with.
