🎉 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 🎉
VENEZOLARIO
![English version]
More Venezuelan than an arepa; more chaotic than a bochinche; and more Venezuelan than a coroto, here comes:
VENEZOLARIO
My dear #GeekZone, I fell into the trap of Venezuelario and I consider it one of the games I have loved the most in all this time.
Not only because I have the gentilejo alborotado 😊, but for many other reasons. First of all, I think it's a way to rescue and learn how we used to communicate; we have a Venezuelanisms dictionary, created by Daniel Castro, which reflects many terms from our popular slang. However, idioms or these new ways that young people use to understand each other have been replacing the words we grew up with.
Just listen to a child saying césped, mochila, or coche when they really mean monte, bulto, and carro 😉.
Currently, the term GOCHO has been recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy to refer to people who are native to the Andean moors (where it snows). So, if we have such unique words, why not put them to the test with this game made for us?
On the other hand, the fact that it was created by a young woman who does not have Venezuelan roots, but who loves this country as much as we do, is reason enough to give it a try and see how well we know each other linguistically speaking.
Another advantage of the game is that we can exercise our brains, search, think, and laugh a lot when we find a word we didn't know, or, as happens to me, didn't remember existed. That's why I invite you to check out the game, and here's a little screenshot of what I've found:

This is the main page. Here you can see the settings, the points you earn that allow you to level up, the avatar that you can customize with your name and favorite stickers, the ticket next to it (I don't know what it's for, but they give it to you and then it disappears), and the coins you earn, which you can use to ask for clues.
- El diccionario que al pulsar indica las palabras que ya llevamos acertadas.
- El regalo diario que pueden ser monedas o tickets.
- La ruleta que gira diariamente y da premios.
- El quitar la publicidad, que si aprietas, debes pagar.
- En el centro, tiene el nivel que me encuentro y si le damos al botón amarillo, nos lleva a esta pantalla:

The dictionary, which when clicked, shows the words we've already guessed.
The daily gift, which can be coins or tickets.
The roulette wheel, which spins daily and awards prizes.
The ad-removal feature, which requires you to pay if you click it.
In the center, it shows the level I'm currently on, and if you click the yellow button, it takes us to this screen:

We have the same banner as before, but now with the definition (as it should be), below it is for a synonym clue, the blank spaces, and options for clues: a letter, hide the wrong letters, and in green is to ask someone playing with you via WhatsApp if they know the word. Finally, there is the keyboard. Super easy!

I've laughed a lot at words like COTUFA, for example, because at almost 40, I learned it's a very Venezuelan word that doesn't exist in other countries 🤣. And we're at the lowest level 😎.
We continue exploring, and here are some of the app's interfaces:
This is my rank in the app. It's very easy to level up and exciting at the same time because I want to keep learning words and playing, which is the purpose of the app.

These are cards I've been collecting for a collection of cities, foods, pets; I don't know what they'll be used for later.

Here we see a tournament currently underway, but I don't know if I should sign up or if it's automatic. I'll let you know when I change my name and avatar 😉. But yes, there are people playing, unlocking levels, taking this learning game seriously.
![English version]
And as I told you, we're unlocking levels, words, sections, in short, learning and refreshing our knowledge. It's not all about Caracas; there are cities here that have learned to communicate, and this creator has made them all available to us so we can unite as a country.

Hasta un próximo encuentro 🎉
![English version]
For me, it's a fun, easy, entertaining game that allows you to share experiences and learn. My J.J. and I started and are gradually learning more; we don't see it as competition, but rather as learning 😊.
The only bad thing is that the creator has said she's considering disabling it because "the crystal generation," who didn't grow up like us, has complained about some of the words 🙃, and they haven't enjoyed it as much as we have. Thousands of Venezuelans have discovered conversation pieces and 1000,000% fun in the game.
We'll see how this controversy ends.
The photos are screenshots from my game.
I made the cover, the separator, and the banner in Canvas.
The translator I used was Google Translate.
Until next time 🎉
