Why Type Shogun?

Built for learning, practice, and mastery.

Type Shogun combines a structured typing curriculum with the feel of an action game. Players learn proper finger placement while slicing incoming targets before they reach the hero.

Built for learning

Keyboard and transparent hand overlays teach recommended touch-typing fingering.

Transparent hands

A transparent hand overlay helps children visualize which finger should reach each letter or number without covering the game.

Campaign progression

Start with guided lessons, then progress through increasingly challenging modes with unique environments, bosses, and unlockable avatars.

Practice your way

Use Sandbox Mode to customize target length, speed, lives, wrong-key behavior, letters, numbers, symbols, and word practice.

WPM Mode

Measure typing speed and accuracy with generated word streams, custom text, and a built-in educational text library.

For kids and adults

Type Shogun is designed for new typists, families, students, teachers, and adults who want a more engaging way to learn the keyboard.

Educational value

A typing game that teaches while you play.

Type Shogun is built around recommended touch-typing practice. The on-screen keyboard highlights the next key to press, while transparent hands show the matching finger. This helps players build muscle memory instead of guessing.

  • Home-row learning and finger-placement guidance.
  • Letters, numbers, symbols, words, and passages.
  • Readable target text with strong contrast and adjustable size.
  • Background dim and text focus options for classrooms or focused practice.
