Sticky Terms

A Game of Untranslatable Words

View

Ever compete in an eukonkanto? Or eat some delicious oscypek?

In Sticky Terms, a quirky puzzler from indie developer Philipp Stollenmayer (Bacon—The Game), you’ll learn the definition of interesting—and often hilarious—foreign phrases by reassembling broken letters.

Tapping someone on the other side of the shoulder to make them look the other way? There’s a name for that!

Choose a category—maybe food, culture, or insults—then shift scrambled parts of words back into the proper position. Is that slanted line part of a letter A or the middle of an N?

A delightfully tactile “click” lets you know you’ve snapped a piece into place. Solve the puzzle and you might discover that zhaghzhagh is Persian for “chattering teeth” and ngalimala is Zulu for “Ouch!”

With dozens of puzzles to master, Sticky Terms keeps a tally of the words and phrases you’ve covered. Just don’t let your newfound knowledge of colorful foreign lingo go to your head. Otherwise, someone might call you an attaccabottoni—Italian for a person who goes on endlessly about boring topics. Ngalimala!
