Alicia’s published family-mode goal is to complete one cooperative chain of ten links. There is no score declaring Peque the winner over Adulto. If someone asks who won, you can explain what you built together rather than count each person’s correct words.
The Alicia product brief describes a Spanish-language game for children aged 4–7 and their families. It is in development for Android, with no public download yet. This guide prepares adults to accompany that design; it does not report a session tested in a released build.
Different hands, one chain
In family mode, Peque chooses between three picture-and-syllable cards. Adulto has six text cards. After an adult’s correct answer, Peque checks the syllable connection. Having more options in one hand does not turn the shared goal into a race.
You might introduce it with your own words: “Let’s see how our chain continues; your word and mine belong to the same journey.” This is a suggested adult phrase, not dialogue built into the application.
When Adulto knows an answer while Peque is still looking
Support can leave the choice with the person whose turn it is. Instead of pointing out a card immediately, invite them to look at the syllable to connect and compare the options shown. Words remain visible and audio is optional: reading the screen need not become a race.
After Adulto gets a word right, Alicia gives Peque a concrete part: checking the link. You can recognise that check as part of the shared game without running a parallel scoreboard the product does not offer.
As an original language example, mesa → sapo → pozo connects sa to sa and po to po. This only illustrates links; it does not establish that these cards appear together or form a complete ten-link game. Use the actual options presented on screen. The words remain Spanish here because translating them changes their syllables and breaks the example.
No need to add a prize for speed
Alicia has no lives, points or timers. To follow that design, you can avoid saying “you’re losing” or “three seconds left” when the system does not set those rules. We make no educational-outcome claim for this choice; the aim is to explain the game accurately.
If your family wants a duel with individual scores, understand that difference before choosing Alicia. Adding your own competition does not describe the product’s published family mode.
What finishing together means
Distinguish reaching the ten-link cooperative goal from awarding an individual victory. One suggested closing question is “which connection would you like to look at again?” It requires no particular answer and does not imply an app replay feature.
Explore Alicia’s design before expecting a download. The product also describes Rally with Alicia, where Peque proposes a word and Alicia continues the chain. That differs from the hands and checks of family mode.
