Why games belong here
Games improve retention. They give returning users a lower-pressure way to stay active, which matters because consistency usually beats occasional high-effort sessions when building durable typing speed.
Games Hub
Typing Games
Keep users practicing longer with playful race, streak, and survival-style typing challenges.
Typing Games gives the platform a lighter entry point. Not every user wants a formal assessment on day one, so this section introduces challenge-based practice that still reinforces useful typing behavior.

What to avoid
Games should still reinforce real typing skill. The best game mechanics reward low correction rates, sustained attention, and readable output rather than frantic key mashing that inflates activity but teaches bad habits.
