Free · In-App Purchases
New: bronze, silver and gold stars for every pack and Brush set. The full HSK 3.0: all 9 levels, 11,000 words, written by hand. Free to start.
Learn Chinese characters with a game you'll want to keep playing. HSK Hero now covers the new HSK 3.0 syllabus: all nine levels, HSK 1 to HSK 7–9, with 11,000 words and over 3,000 characters.
See the meaning, hear the word, then find its characters on the grid. It's fast, it's fun, and it makes you recall each word instead of just recognising it. Learners around the world have been playing HSK Hero since 2016.
THE NEW HSK 3.0, LEVELS 1 TO 9
• Every word of the new syllabus: HSK 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and the advanced 7–9 band
• Short packs, most useful words first, grouped into units on the big levels
• Simplified and traditional characters, switch any time
• Pinyin with tone colours, English meanings and clear audio for every word
A GAME THAT TEACHES
• Find the characters on a 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 grid as little martial-arts heroes leap onto your tiles
• Stuck on a word? Tap Learn: see its characters shown on the board, then the board shuffles and it's your turn
• Write your answers by hand right on the game board, or tap the tiles: your choice
• Every word climbs four stages, from Learning to Familiar, Strong and finally locked in
• Missed words return in Review, and a Smart Pack mixes reviews with new words
• A Daily Challenge to play and share with friends
WRITE CHARACTERS BY HAND
• Brush practice with stroke order for every character, with a real ink brush and Apple Pencil pressure
• Guided, Trace or Recall: follow numbered strokes, trace an outline, or write from memory
• Live coaching on stroke order, direction and proportion, plus the parts each character is built from
• A daily writing goal, practice by HSK level, and a copybook of every character in your own hand
HEAR EVERY WORD
• Audio mode says each word as it appears: turn off English and pinyin for pure listening practice
• Slow pronunciation whenever you need it
A WORLD TO PLAY IN
• Ten painted Chinese landscapes, from Guilin and the Great Wall to the lakes of Jiuzhai
• Seasons, weather, day and night, and calm birdsong if you like it
• 20 celebrations, red seal stamps and 87 badges for streaks, festivals and the 24 solar terms
• Colour themes, light and dark mode, iPhone and iPad
FREE TO START
Play the first packs of every level, the Daily Challenge, and a free Brush round every day. HSK Hero Pro unlocks all 11,000 words, unlimited writing practice, every theme and more: monthly, yearly with a free week, or once for life.
