What is Fireworks Typing?

A 60-second typing game where a firework goes up into the night sky every time you press the right key. You don’t have to finish a word first: each correct key sends up a firework and adds to your score. There is no time-up scene and no game over. Wrong keys never take points away, and you can go right on. Nothing to install: play for free in your browser.

How to play

1. Press “Start” (or the space bar) to begin the 60 seconds.
2. Look at the word in the middle and type its letters. Letters you have typed turn gold.
3. Each correct key sends up a firework and adds to your score. You also earn experience, and your “fireworks maker level” goes up.
4. As your level goes up, the words get a little longer, and each key is worth more points and makes bigger fireworks.
5. Type 10 correct keys in a row to start a “Fireworks Rush”: the fireworks turn rainbow-colored and your score grows twice as fast. At 20 in a row it becomes ×2.5, and at 30 it becomes ×3, with more fireworks too. A mistake ends the rush, but you never lose points.
6. After 60 seconds, your score and title are announced, and this round’s fireworks are shown again as a finale.

Short words → longer words → two-word pairs

You start with short words like “cat” and “sun”. As your fireworks maker level goes up, you get longer words like “rabbit” and “rainbow”, and then two-word pairs like “blue moon”, where you press the space bar between the words. You don’t have to choose a level: the practice keeps up with you as you improve. The same word does not come up twice in one game.

A different night sky each day

The night sky scene (mountains, sea, town or summer festival) changes with the date. On the same day, it is the same on every device. Every day is a slightly different fireworks show.

Score and titles

Your score grows by “1 key × fireworks maker level”, and during a Fireworks Rush a multiplier (×2 → ×2.5 → ×3) is added. The longer you keep going without mistakes, the faster your score grows. There is no top fireworks maker level. Each time the gauge on the right fills up, your level goes up, the fireworks get bigger, and each key is worth more points. Depending on your score, you earn a title: Apprentice fireworks maker → Fireworks maker → Skilled fireworks maker → Fireworks master → Legendary fireworks maker. Your personal best is saved only on this device.

For parents

Fireworks Typing is free and needs no sign-up, with nothing to buy. Records such as the personal best and the sound setting are saved only in your browser and are never sent to a server. Mistakes never cost points and there is no time-up scene, so even children who are just starting to type can practice while feeling what they can do. It has an on-screen keyboard, so it can also be played by tapping the screen on a tablet. From “⚙ Settings” on the title screen, you can choose lowercase or UPPERCASE letters and show or hide the on-screen keyboard to suit your child.
