The Spelling Challenge on Beezi's website. How well will you do? |
Remember how fun spelling was when you were in elementary school? Now as an adult or as a pre-teen not so much eh?
Did you know that the most commonly used words we see everyday are actually spelled incorrectly?
For example which is the correct spelling (A) Pavillion or (B) Pavilion
Here's a hint approx 99% of people spell it the wrong way
Enter Tony Goldstein and his sister Robyn creators of Beezi the spelling game
Tony and his sister Robyn at Indigo Yonge and Eglington Promoting Beezi |
Beezi takes your average spelling game and makes it fun again adding a board gaming aspect. You can play with up to 6 people and its is meant for ages 12 and up.
No dictionaries allowed! Its all up to you! You spell the word the way you hear it and if you get it right you move a space if you get it wrong you move back ( almost like snake and ladders)
It is not as simple as that however there are 4 different categories of words you have to spell depending on what you roll on the die.
They range from the easiest -Honey Bee to Killer Bee.
What about a kids version you may ask? Well not to fear one is in the works and will hopefully make it to market soon according to Goldstein.
How did the duo manage to get into Chapters/Indigo stores across Canada?
"It was thanks to our distributor,Indigo was one of their clients and they felt it was a good fit for their stores" Goldstein told me during our brief interview at Indigo this past Sunday.
The game will cost you around $34.95 +tax and is available at all Indigo and Chapters locations.
I highly recommend you check out this game see how well you spell :) As a current journalism student I can say this will help me greatly improve my spelling !
Be sure to check out the game in store and also take the spelling challenge as I did both in person and on their site :http://www.beezibeez.com/
