Hop a little frog across the traffic of Addis — dodge bajajs, minibuses and the light rail, ride logs past crocodiles and hippos, and grab Br coins on the way. Keep going as day turns to night… just watch out for the hyenas. How far can you cross?
Lead a trading caravan from ancient Aksum to the sea! Buy and sell in the markets, mind your food and water, care for your animals, and choose your road — ruins, wells and churches wait off the path, each with its own mini‑game. Can you make the 170 miles pay?
A treasure has been stolen — and the thief is running! Chase the Shifta Ring across a map of Ethiopia in this detective game: question witnesses in Lalibela, Harar, Aksum and beyond, follow the geography clues, match the evidence to a suspect, and issue your warrant before the hours run out. Elementary, detective!
Zema's crew is loose in the capital! Read the clues from each sighting — the sounds, the trades, the traffic — then name the sub-city and the exact place, from Merkato to Entoto to Ayat. Fewer clues, more points. Eight sightings per run, and the last one is Zema herself. Made for students who know their city.
The Shifta Ring has stolen a time machine! Chase the thieves down a timeline of Ethiopian history — from Lucy's world to the stelae of Aksum, Lalibela's carvers, the castles of Gondar, the victory at Adwa and beyond. Read the dated clues they drop, match the evidence, and make the arrest before the hours run out.
The injera-stacking game! A piece of injera swings across the screen — tap at just the right moment to drop it onto the stack in the mesob. Line it up carefully: sloppy drops get trimmed, and a miss ends the ceremony. How tall can your tower grow?
For our littlest learners! A big letter pops up and says its name out loud — tap the matching small letter and celebrate with stars and confetti. No score, no timer, and no way to lose: just the ABCs in bright, friendly colors.
How well do you know Ethiopia? Answer questions about Ethiopian history, geography, food, and culture — but be careful: one wrong answer ends your run. Questions get harder as you go, and every five correct answers earns you a lifeline.
One date, two calendars! Hear “Tir 12” and know it means mid-January. Convert dates between the Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars, watch out for tricky gold crossover days where the month rolls over, and see how long you can keep your streak alive. One wrong answer ends the run!
The classic snake game with a Zagol twist! Steer your snake to eat berries and grow longer — and when a golden zagol appears, race to grab it for bonus points before it vanishes. How long can you last?
All our games are free, work on phones, tablets, and computers, and were made with love for Zagol Academy. More games coming soon!
