Making language learning fun, interactive, and effective has always been part of our mission at Drops. Today, we’re taking it up a notch with our first multiplayer learning game that lets you compete with friends and learners around the world.
Collaborative learning is excellent at keeping you motivated, maximizing your focus, and bringing fun to your sessions. That’s why we’re so excited to share Multiplayer with you—the first-ever synchronous multiplayer learning game on any language app.
So, read on to learn more.
Multiplayer lets you experience language learning in a whole new way by connecting you with up to six other Drops learners in a real-time, fast-paced language competition. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, challenge yourself, or simply have a blast learning, Multiplayer delivers on all fronts.
There are two Multiplayer game modes on Drops, making it possible for individuals to compete with others around the world or host sessions and play with friends. Here’s what you can expect from our two multiplayer learning game modes:
Jump into a multiplayer session and we’ll match you with up to six other Drops users for a friendly competition. You’ll learn and compete together against the clock, testing your language skills and each other!
Want to create your own learning session? You got it! With hosted sessions, you can invite up to 40 friends, colleagues, or students to join you for a customized language learning experience. This feature is perfect for teachers who want to run live, interactive language lessons, or for friends looking to make language learning a fun group activity. You decide what to learn, and the competition is on! Stay tuned, hosted sessions are coming very soon!
Get ready for a two-minute learning frenzy! In Learning Showdown, you and your fellow players will be introduced to six new words or phrases. The goal? Learn them before the timer runs out. But it’s not just about memorizing—you’ll need to hit a specific number of interactions to qualify for the next round. Miss the target? No worries! You can always try again.
If you make it through the Learning Showdown, the real competition begins in Review Rush—a fast-paced review challenge where you compete against others to see who has truly mastered the material. Speed is key! The faster and more accurately you answer, the more points you earn. Keep an eye on the live leaderboard at the bottom of the screen, where you can track your position in real time as you and your competitors battle for the top spot.
With every correct answer, your ranking will shift—adding to the thrill as you watch streaks flash across the screen and strive for that coveted number one spot. Bonus awards like “Fastest Answer” and “Most Accurate” will be given at the end to highlight each player’s strengths!
Multiplayer isn’t just about competition—it’s about learning more effectively together. Learning in a social, competitive environment can improve focus, retention, and motivation, making your language journey faster and more enjoyable. What’s more, with Drops’ seamless integration of gameplay and language learning, we’re ensuring that every minute spent in Multiplayer helps you build vocabulary and improve recall so you can use it in real life!
Multiplayer also creates new possibilities for using Drops, making our well-loved learning game relevant for a variety of groups:
Friends and family: Friends and family members who are learning languages together can battle it out at social events, putting their skills and progress to the test.
Individual learners: Drops has always been well loved by individual learners, but now they have new ways to play and learn. Adding variety to practice sessions is an excellent way to stay motivated and engaged with a language.
Teachers: Teachers looking for multiplayer games for school can run hosted sessions on Drops—the perfect way to create fun, interactive, language learning competitions for students.
Multiplayer is available now! Whether you're a free user or a Premium member, you can jump into a match or host a session today. To get started:
We can’t wait for you to try out this exciting new way to learn. Whether you’re competing against strangers or challenging your friends, we know Multiplayer will add a whole new level of fun and motivation to your language-learning journey.
As always, we’d love to hear your feedback. Got questions or suggestions? Reach out to our team—we’re here to help.
Happy learning, and good luck reaching the podium in your first multiplayer session 🎉
"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
"I have been desperate to find an app that really helps me learn Japanese and this is the best by far"
