At version 3.8, our critical thinking skills-building game #CrankyUncle now includes Romanian!

We've come a long way since 2022, the first year the game became multi-lingual-- with many complications entailed!

Many languages to go. Our hearty --Thank You-- goes to current and future volunteer translators!

(The same cognitive strengths against #ClimateBunk built by Cranky Uncle work on other faults of the wetware between our ears, such as #VaccinationReluctance.)

The Cranky Uncle game can now be played in 16 languages!

As of March 7, 2025, the Cranky Uncle game is available in English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Swedish, Turkish, Albanian, Macedonian, Finnish, Romanian, Catalan, Croatian and Indonesian. It can be played on iOS or Android devices as well as in the browser. More languages are already in the queue and this blog post will be updated whenever a new language gets launched. In addition, there may be language specific announcements linked via the flag-icons at the top. These will be created by the translator teams and will most likely go into more language specific details or explain some particularly tricky or interesting translation challenges.
