Aksharit™ started as Manuj’s Design project 4 years ago to create a board game for Indian Languages. On researching, it turned out that there were hardly any word games in Hindi. This was surprising especially if one considered the myriad of such games for English such as Scrabble, Boggle, Lexicon etc. Some of them like Scrabble had been around for more than 60 years.However the most astonishing fact which really fuelled our curiosity was that it exists for more than 30 world languages but none of these languages cover any Indian language, given that language like Hindi is the 3rd most spoken language across the globe.Hence we studied the differences between English and Hindi and it was not long before we realized the obstacles one would have to go past in order to create such a game. Moreover being a game, the solution had to be very simple to understand yet so unique and novel that no one had ever chanced upon it. Aksharit™ achieves this through the inclusion of certain unique features which have emerged through years of thorough research into Hindi and various Indian languages, consultation with experts both in the field of languages and design, considerable intuitive insights, and extensive playtesting with adults and children.
