How To Play

The game supports up to four players, or four groups of players. You can play by having each player or team answering every question, or the first to raise their hand answers the question. If a question is answered correctly, points are awarded. If the question is answered incorrectly, points are taken away. Each player or team chooses a category in turn regardless of the outcome of the previous answer.

Game Board

You choose a category and point value from the game board and click that box.

The game keeps track of which questions have already been selected.

Game Question

You are given the corresponding question and when you have the answer, click the Answer button.

*Note: some of the questions are worth double points. These questions will be preceded by a short animation declaring double point value.

Game Answer

The answer is displayed along with an image to support the answer (not all questions have images). Once you have explained the answer to the class, click the Scores button to register the scores.

Game Answer

You can add or subtract from a specific players' score by clicking the up or down arrows under each player. The host reminds you what the point value of the question was. One click will add or subtract that amount from the player's score.

Once you have finished adjusting the scores, click the Game Board button to select another question. If there are no more questions left, the player with the highest score is congratulated when you click the Game Board button.
