"What makes Story Chaser unique is the user's ability to explore fantastic stories without the traditional atmospherics of language," says Constantine Abazis, the venture's Project Manager. "The challenge from the start was not only to create a great game, but to readdress how people gather meaning from the abundance of content around them." ...

While designing and coding the app, Publisto's team found itself under pressure from the grand recession Greece has been facing. "The world outside our central Athens windows seemed to change every day," programmer Giannis Paraskakis (right) says. "It was all noise. This doubled our focus to create a better game system where people could assess meaning amidst all the noise," he adds.

Joining the game, children and their parents find their score in word recognition, pattern ability and reading comprehension and get fun practicing English and discerning what's important in a speedy world.

How do people learn and play?  

Tap on randomly appearing story words, animated illustrations, then answer the multiple choice questions and discover how much you have learnt in a very short time.

Too much info to miss out? 

Every day, we receive a staggering 105,000 words or 23 words per second. Through mobile phones, the Internet, electronic mail, television, radio, newspapers and books, people are famously having too much information in their heads. How exciting it would be to get trained to absorb as much as possible! And all that, through child's play!

Can genius be nurtured through smartphone apps?  

Recent research has discovered that the human brain can interpret images that the eye sees in just 13 milliseconds. "The fact that you can do that at these high speeds indicates that what vision does, is find concepts," Mary Potter, an MIT professor of Brain and Cognitive sciences, was recently quoted in a study. That was the basis of designing Story Chaser. Publisto found that if they intensely motivate their users in finding meaning, they usually do. And they designed the game to best train kids and adults to discern meaning fast, consistently and accurately.
