    Hm. Looks like there's no middle ground for naming the area but not the particular bone name, and there's no acceptance of colloquial names. Technically correct, but it feels inflexible. Maybe...

      I would personally pair this with a skeleton app so I could poke around and try to FIND it on the skeleton. Having a decent guess of the area would be my personal victory.

      Reviving old thread: but I downloaded the Anatomy Learning App (from 3D Medical OU), and this minigame pairs quite well with it: guess the general area from the first clue like you mentioned , then use the anatomy app to poke around and grab name of a particular bone, go back and guess, repeat.

      I don't consider it cheating if I'm not trying to compete with anyone. But I end up learning at least 5 trivia about a particular part of my own body (which I'll soon forget I'm sure), as well as names of the more common and larger bones.
