Travel Nightmare

Emma and her partner Danny are racing to reach a family birthday in the west of Ireland — but a late taxi, a storm-delayed and overbooked flight, and one chaotic airport push them to an impossible choice at the gate: fly ahead alone, or give up the seat and travel together. A branching story of delays, hard decisions, and a long-awaited reunion.

Offered at every level — from Beginner (A1) to Upper-intermediate (B2). The app starts you at the right one and grows with you.
