How it works

Open the game file in any web browser: Chromebooks, laptops or your smartboard. No accounts, no student logins and no internet needed once it's downloaded.
Pick one of the 5 levels, from kindergarten science up to middle school, then press Start.
The whole class plays together on one projector or smartboard. Students move, stand, hop or walk to answer, and a round takes 2 to 4 minutes.
Each purchase includes the game file and a one-page Quick Start guide.
