FAQ
Good to know
How does scoring work?
Clues reveal one at a time, and the fewer you use before naming the connection, the higher the score — early confidence pays.
How many students can play?
One to four players per round, or run it whole-class on the projector with guesses between every clue.
Do students need devices?
No. Projector-only is the natural way to play; students can also join on their own devices with a code or play link.
Can AI write rounds on my topic?
Yes. Give it a topic and grade level and it writes the categories and clues in under a minute — or author your own.
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.
