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

"The water cycle, Year 5" is all the Arcade needs — it fills your Drop4 with real content in seconds.
Skim, edit or reroll anything before the class sees it. You stay the teacher; the AI stays the intern.
Run it big on the board, or let students join from their own devices with a code and a name.
That's the goal — no rules to teach. Here's how a round of Drop4 runs.
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.
Game types in the Arcade — one topic box fills them all
From typing a topic to pressing play
Student accounts — a code and a first name is the whole login
Steps every time: type it, check it, play it
I typed 'the water cycle' and had a class quiz in ten seconds flat. It's the first tool my whole department adopted.
Two players per game — or split the class into two teams and let each side vote on its next column.
No. One shared screen does it — pass-and-play on the projector, a tablet, or any browser.
Nothing. There's no content to write — drop it on the board and the first disc can fall ten seconds later.
Yes. Drop4 is included on Boardee's free tier, like every game type.
Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.
Same three steps, different game. Type a topic and pick your shape.
Type it in, check the content, press play. The Arcade does the rest.
