What this page is for
Short competitive activities for revision — run live in the classroom, with the board on the projector and pupils answering on their own devices.
Game packs
A pack is the content: the questions, pairs, statements or cards a game runs on. Generate one with AI from a topic or curriculum section, or write it yourself in the editor.
The cost estimate is shown before generating.
Running a live session
- Create a session from a pack
- Pupils join
- You control the rounds from the teacher panel — start, reveal, next
- The board shows the current state; results appear as pupils answer
Rounds advance when you say so. A round can auto-reveal after its countdown, but moving on is your call, so you can stop and explain.
The kinds of game
They fall into a few families:
| Family | What pupils do |
|---|---|
| Matching and sorting | Pair concepts, order events, sort into groups |
| Speed answering | Answer quickly for points, with a speed bonus |
| Stand or sit (elimination) | Answer true/false; wrong answers sit down |
| Zone voting | Move to a corner or side to express a choice, then defend it |
| Team battle | Teams take turns; hits and misses on a shared grid |
| Peer duel | Rotating partners quiz each other |
| Escape chain | Staged puzzles unlocking a final code |
Rules and limits
- Generating a pack costs tokens. Running a session does not.
- Scoring is decided on the server, so a pupil cannot award themselves points.
- Answers are not sent to pupils' devices before the reveal.
- Older packs may not be launchable. Packs made before the interactive engines existed can still be shown but not run; regenerate them as interactive.
Troubleshooting
"The pack will not launch." It is a legacy pack from before the interactive engines. Regenerate it.
"A pupil cannot join." Sessions are scoped to the class the pack was assigned to.
"Generation produced odd content." Regenerate; the prompt is stricter about shape than it once was. If a specific type keeps failing, tell us which.
"Scores look wrong." Speed bonuses are included. The panel shows the breakdown per round.
