Reading Arena – Education Game Review
![]()
Reading Arena is a Education/Word game from HeKu IT GmbH, first launched in 17th February 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 22+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Reading Arena Stand Out
The reading game based on the internationally successful App of the Year “Reading Trainer”. Challenge your Facebook and Game Center friends, or compete against them face to face in split screen mode. Use your jokers wisely to gain advantages competing for the best ranks.
SINGLEPLAYER CHALLENGE – Score best results and compare them to those of your friends and opponents worldwide on the Facebook leaderboard.
MULTIPLAYER CHALLENGE (for iPad) – Compete against your friends in split screen mode – who is more concentrated and spots more? Be the best and tap the answer before your opponent does.
JOKERS AND UPGRADES – They can provide you with the small but important advantage. Use the Freeze Joker in order to stop the time and the Highlight Joker to reveal the correct answers. Gain Achievements and exchange them for energy.
WAY TO VICTORY – Combine reading speed and reaction time. Your opponent’s mistakes will be penalized on the spot and credited to your account.
According to Caesar: “Veni, legi, vici.” – “I came, I read, I conquered.”
SOUND – Intuitional sounds help you to find the right answers and to recognize mistakes.
READING ARENA – Based on the award-winning app “Reading Trainer”, App of the Year.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Quick play. Visually appealing. But not much variety.
This is like the "arcade" version of the Speed Reading Trainer by the same company. We have been playing it for almost a year and made some observations. The in-app purchase sales psychology tries to train you like a dog and lure you into buying extensions and new high scores. You are rewarded when you play on a day to day basis. You get "energy" when you play and The most annoying thing inside this: it contains bugs that "steal" away your hard earned "energy"… The app either crashes after you play a game on a regular basis – so the energy won't be added to your account. But the most freaky one: the app repeatedly "magically" reduced our balance after reopening!! Come on guys! You can do better than this…Though we love playing this game, the bugs are a absolute NO GO and prevailed through several updates.
This is so much fun to play. Whether or not it will increase our reading speed might not matter, although we hope it will. We just got it today, so we don't know yet if it does help. It's very addictive though.
We're actually a little bit addicted.
We like this very much, it has helped us read better and faster.
