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.
- The download has a separate file for each grade band. Open the one that fits your class, enter 2–4 players or teams (or solo practice) and press Start.
- Students take turns on one shared screen, so the whole class can play together on a projector or smartboard.
- Each purchase includes the game files and a one-page Quick Start guide.
