🎃 Hollow Night
The Archive goes dark for Halloween. Pumpkins light up on the days you study, the Hollow bell rings out spooky outfits and room pieces, and a pumpkin boss roams the stacks.
Study on 7 days of the event to earn the Hollow Lantern set. It's never given out again.

How it works
COLLECT
Look up a word and keep the exact meaning you want to learn.
BATTLE
Defeat it by recalling what it means, or by using it in a sentence of your own.
RETURN
Words come back just as you're about to forget them, so they stick for good.
More to find in the Archive
YOUR ROOM
Decorate your own corner of the Archive and dress your avatar in outfits you earn.
THE CIRCLE
Add friends, duel them, and leave notes on their desks.
CALLINGS
Choose a profession and unlock its story chapter by chapter as your words grow.
LOST PROPERTY
Ring the bell with tickets you earn from studying, and see what the clerk brings out.
Made for students getting ready for exams like VCE English, IELTS or the SAT, readers who keep meeting words they half-know, and anyone who has ever said "it's on the tip of my tongue."
Questions
Is Vochive free?
Yes. Everything in it is earned by playing; nothing is for sale.
Do I need to download anything?
No, it runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Do I need an account?
You can start as a guest straight away. A free account keeps your words and progress safe across devices and lets you add friends.
How are my answers checked?
For meaning, not exact wording. An AI language model reads your answer and checks you've understood the right sense of the word, so your own phrasing counts.
