Boardee Arcade · Logic & classics

Drop4

Drop discs to connect four.

Four in a row with real gravity — the drop, the plan, the groan when it's blocked. Instant strategy for two players or two very invested teams.

Also known as: connect four · four in a row

Topic to podium in three steps

Type your topic

"The water cycle, Year 5" is all the Arcade needs — it fills your Drop4 with real content in seconds.

Check the content

Skim, edit or reroll anything before the class sees it. You stay the teacher; the AI stays the intern.

Press play

Run it big on the board, or let students join from their own devices with a code and a name.

How to play

Connect four of your discs in a line.

That's the goal — no rules to teach. Here's how a round of Drop4 runs.

1

Take turns dropping a disc into a column.

2

Line up four across, down, or diagonally.

Block your opponent while you build your line.

Built for the classroom

AI fills it. You press play.

Every Arcade game starts from the same box: type what you're teaching and the content writes itself — questions, words, clues — ready for the board at the front of the room.

  • Real content on your topic and grade, in under a minute
  • Big type and chunky buttons, readable from the back row
  • Students join with a code and a name — no accounts, ever

I typed 'the water cycle' and had a class quiz in ten seconds flat. It's the first tool my whole department adopted.

FAQ

Good to know

How many students can play?

Two players per game — or split the class into two teams and let each side vote on its next column.

Do students need devices?

No. One shared screen does it — pass-and-play on the projector, a tablet, or any browser.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Nothing. There's no content to write — drop it on the board and the first disc can fall ten seconds later.

Is it free?

Yes. Drop4 is included on Boardee's free tier, like every game type.

Do students need accounts?

Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.
