THE SHOW
A whole-class quiz game show. This screen is the stage (put it on the projector), and every player answers on their own device.
JOINING
Tap Host a game to get a 4-letter room code. Players go to edtgo.com, type the code and a nickname, and they are in. Before you start, use the Who's playing? picker (Elementary, Secondary, or Staff) so the questions fit your room.
QUESTIONS AND POINTS
Everyone answers every question. A correct answer earns 100 points plus a speed bonus of up to 50, so quick thinking pays.
THE HOT SEAT
Miss a question and you land in the Hot Seat: a quick minigame (Lucky Lockers, The Group Project, or Lightning Math). Slip up there and you head to the Gallery.
THE GALLERY
Gallery players keep answering every question, and their answers still count toward the class total, but they earn no points until the finale. Nobody sits out, and nobody is ever out of it.
THE FINALE
Everyone plays, Gallery included, and every game deals one of three finales at random: Blow Up the Balloon, Climb the Ladder, or Race to the Summit. Answer right to move, catch the leader to steal the lead, and stay ahead of the closing lights. First to the bell banks a 500-point bonus, and hitting the class accuracy goal together earns bonus points all around.
GAME LENGTHS AND SOLO
Bell-ringer runs about 5 minutes, Full Show about 10, Marathon 15 or more. Play solo is a quick on-your-own round right here, with the same question sets.
