Play Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing! Online
You race against cars by typing faster, fumble through goofy text adventures, and somehow end up learning proper finger placement without realizing it—all while Mavis’ robotic voice cheers you on.
Game Overview
Oh man, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing!—the MS-DOS program that somehow made keyboard drills feel like an arcade game. I remember booting this up in school computer labs, half-expecting another boring lesson, only to get weirdly competitive about hitting the right keys.
Mavis (who, let’s be real, was probably just a stock photo model) had this way of making you care about proper finger placement. The racing minigame where you typed to outrun cars? Genius. The adventure mode with its goofy storylines? Even better. And that robotic voice saying "Good job!" after nailing a drill? Pure dopamine.
It’s funny how something so simple—just words scrolling up a green or orange screen—could turn typing into a legit skill without you even noticing. I still catch myself using the home row keys because of this thing. A total nostalgia trip, right down to the pixelated graphics.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
