What is SESK Drive mode?

SESK Drive mode at /drive/ is the Stuff Everyone Should Know Driving Game. It reads each card and its three answers out loud, and after the beep you answer by saying A, B or C, or by tapping. Play any test. It is hands-free for the car. Start it before you drive or let a passenger do it.

SESK Drive mode is the Stuff Everyone Should Know Driving Game: you play with your ears. Open /drive/, or tap 🚗 SESK Drive mode in the game menu.

  1. Pick a test: tap one, or tap 🎤 Say a test and say its name ("drone", "ham radio", "citizen").
  2. Tap Start the Driving Game. Your phone asks to use the microphone the first time.
  3. Listen to the card and the three answers. Wait for the beep, then say A, B or C. "Bravo" or a word from the answer works too.
  4. Right: you hear the joke players voted funniest. Wrong: you hear why.

Say "repeat", "skip", "pause" and "resume", "change test", or "I'm done" to hear your score. Tap an answer or a button any time, even while a card is read.

Safety first: start it before you pull out, or let a passenger run it.

Good to know:

  • Your answers count like they do in the game: cards learned, Knowledge Score and the leaderboard.
  • Keep the screen on with SESK in front: a locked phone or maps in front stops the listening.
  • iPhone: voice answers work in Safari, not in the installed app. In the app you can tap A, B or C.
  • If the microphone is blocked, tap your answers, or allow the microphone in your browser settings.
  • Hearing problems? Under It doesn't hear me well? turn on the voice timing log. It sends what the phone heard, as text (never sound), so we can fix it.
