// THE GARAGE

Everything a typing game should be

No ads, no pay-to-win, no cloud accounts. Just racing, rewards, and real progress you can measure.

Race adaptive AI

Up to 9 opponents with real personalities — nervous, aggressive, champion. No cheating: cars move exactly as fast as you type.

Earn coins, build a garage

Win races to earn coins, then spend them on 21 cars, paints, wheel rims, and exhaust trails. Purely cosmetic — skill decides every race.

300+ built-in passages

Animals, space, science, history, quotes, and more — across three difficulty levels. Guided lessons and practice drills included.

Analytics that matter

WPM, accuracy, most-missed keys, a typing heatmap, and daily/weekly trends — so students (and teachers) see improvement.

Teacher mode

Password-protected. Create student accounts, reset progress, unlock content, manage text packs, and export reports.

Achievements & certificates

12 achievements, practice streaks, and printable PDF certificates with a unique ID as students complete each level.

100% offline

Runs on the most locked-down school PC. No internet, no accounts, no data leaving the room — everything lives locally.

One-click backup

Export or import a single backup file containing everything — accounts, garage, analytics, certificates, leaderboards.

// THE RACE

How a race works

01

Pick a race

Choose Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced — or let “Surprise me” pick a race, lesson, or drill for you.

02

Type to accelerate

Every correct keystroke pushes your car forward. A mistake stalls you until you fix it — no fake movement, ever.

03

Beat the field

Cross the finish line first to win coins, unlock achievements, and keep your practice streak alive.
