How to play Typing Quest on Mac
Game summary
Play and learn with the first typing game for Switch! According to new educational guidelines, programming became a required subject in elementary school starting in 2020. And while the focus tends to be on the programs, typing is the equivalent of holding a pencil to learn writing for children who are using a computer for the first time. Being able to look up while accurately inputting keystrokes during class is the equivalent of looking at the blackboard while writing notes. And since you are going to be learning, why not improve your skills while playing on a game console?

Play Typing Quest on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Typing Quest on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Typing Quest installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Typing Quest like you would on any PC.
