Why this matters

A picture hunt instead of a deck: one crowded antique shop with 32 old things to find in it, every one a precise noun you rarely need until you walk into a place like this — der Sekretär, das Spinnrad, die Balkenwaage, das Butterfass, der Paravent. The prompt asks Wo ist die Registrierkasse? The prompt asks for one object, and you tap it in the picture. Each find shows its label, coloured by its gender, then leaves a small tick in that colour, so you can see what you have already found. A tap on the wrong object tells you what you hit and you keep looking; after three misses the right one is shown. Once you have passed a run, the hunt turns harder: the prompt hides the article (Wo ist ___ Registrierkasse?), and after the find you choose der, die or das yourself. No object is asked twice in the same run.
