Using up, up & away together
Relative microphone sound energy, or deliberate taps.
A short way to begin
- Explore once with the tap button.
- With the optional microphone, use a comfortable everyday voice.
- Adjust sensitivity instead of shouting to make the activity respond.
Adapt this activity
Take turns together. Never strain, shout or hold your breath. Stop if the activity feels uncomfortable.
What the feedback means
The display is not a calibrated decibel meter. Distance from the microphone and background noise change its response.

Questions about this activity
Do I need to turn the microphone on?
No. Tap-to-play is available. Rhythm and turtle-pacing activities are based on deliberate taps rather than microphone analysis.
Is audio recorded or uploaded during this game?
No. These voice games analyze microphone samples in browser memory. The separate articulation record-and-replay feature is optional and is described in the privacy page.
Why does the response change between devices?
Microphones, distance, room noise and browser processing differ. Use sensitivity where available and interpret the display as approximate feedback rather than a clinical measurement.
