As the title implies, the premise of the game is to teach to type, for that you'll meet Mavis, a young girl, who takes you to her cartoony grandparent's house for a visit. Each room in the house presents different drills and challenges where you progressively learn to stop writing with two fingers, stare at the monitor, etc. while your accuracy and speed are ranked in a progress chart.

Graphics are made of colourful svga cartoony images with smooth animations and sounds. [source:mobygames]
