El Gran Dictat (The Big Dictation) is a TV quiz show where contestants must pass spelling related tests that get more complex as the game goes.
The goal was to translate the TV format first to the web and later to the iPhone/iPad platform. The main challenge was to make the user feel as she was a contestant on the TV show while taking advantage of all the iPhone/iPad interactive capabilities.
As we are all iPhone users, we designed the game we'd like to play.
Gameplay
Inside the game, you'll find yourself fighting against the clock, tryining not to make a single spelling mistake.
Press play
Before the game starts, you have access to the rankings, instructions and the possibility to mute the music (just the music, you don't want to mute the dictation!).
Óscar Dalmau, the man himself, welcomes you
TV host and entertainer Óscar Dalmau welcome the players and gives the the basic instructions to start playing right in the same way he does on the TV show.
Next level
You'll need to earn your points through five levels. Each one contains less words than the previous one, but they get more complicated.
