Questions
Which prices are in the Shopping game?
Fifteen everyday items from French markets and shops: fruit, coffee, bread, metro tickets, clothing, books, and more — prices range from 50 centimes to €35.
How does the cash-register keypad work?
Digits shift in from the right, just like a real cash register. To enter €1.50 press 1, then 5, then 0. The display shows the amount building up.
Do I need to understand French numbers to play?
That's exactly what the game teaches. Start by recognising 'un/deux/trois euros' and simple centimes, then work up to compound prices like 'dix-huit euros cinquante'.
Is there a time limit?
No — Shopping is a relaxed, accuracy-focused game. Take your time to listen carefully and build the correct price on the keypad.
