TypeIt Hero

TypeIt Hero is a casual typing game that teaches kids to type without looking down at the keyboard. You play a hero whose progress depends on your keystrokes, which turns typing drills that are usually dull into something with a goal and a sense of momentum.

The idea came from a parent of four who watched their oldest, a 9-year-old, struggle through slow hunt-and-peck typing. The creator names Claude Code as the tool. In the Vibe Jam 2026 standings it sits at 412th of 945.

Touch typing is meant to feel playful here rather than like homework, and the focus stays on building real keyboard habits that carry over to everyday use. The game is played on a desktop keyboard.
