When you make it all the way through the game, you'll get a special reward that you can print.

Along the way, you'll find special prizes all around your construction site.

To play, you'll need the Shockwave plug-in. Get it here if you don't have it already.

How to Play

In Homebuilder, you'll build a home of your own by answering questions about what you've learned in the Home Zone.

To find the questions, drag your mouse around the construction site to zero in on an object hiding a question. You'll know you've zeroed in when the green circles appear around the object your mouse is on. Click on the object, and a question will appear.

Read the question. When you are ready to answer, type in the letter in the white box at the bottom of the screen and click the submit button. If you're right, you'll add a room or a floor to your new house. But if you're wrong……Well, you can always try again.


If you really get stuck, just click on Hint for help in answering the question. Hint is in the lower right corner of the question box.

House Levels

After you finish each level, you have the option to exit or go on to the next level. When you choose to go on to the next level, you are presented with a bird's-eye view of the level you just built, and can look into each room in more detail.

Once you start the next level, you will get to find and answer a whole new set of questions and build another level for your house.

If you make it through all the levels, you'll get a special reward.
