Handle the speed bonus carefully
Points fall as time passes. It's motivating, but it penalises slower readers: announce the rule and keep the leaderboard in proportion.
Education
An educational treasure hunt for the classroom
Revising on your feet, searching, rather than sitting in front of a worksheet.
Revision by worksheet only works for some pupils. The others switch off, not through lack of ability, but because sitting still writing answers doesn't get them going.
A QR code trail moves the revision into space. Pupils search, confer, answer — and you see live who is stuck on which idea, information that a pile of marking would only give you three days later.
How to go about it
- 1
Match the place to the purpose
The playground and corridors for end-of-topic revision, a museum or a nature site for a trip. The format handles both.
- 2
One idea per question
Four options, one correct. The multiple-choice format forces a decision, and the correction is immediate for the pupil.
- 3
Play in groups of three
One phone per group is enough — a pupil's own, or a school tablet. The argument between the three is often more instructive than the answer itself.
- 4
Watch the progress live
The dashboard shows how far each group has got. You spot immediately which ideas are blocking the whole class.
Example questions
Each question offers four possible answers, only one of which is correct. You decide how many points it is worth.
- In which year did the French Revolution begin?
- What is 7 × 8?
- Which gas do plants absorb for photosynthesis?
- What is the subject of the verb in this sentence?
Advice from the field
Check your school's policy
Phones in class are often regulated. School tablets avoid the question entirely, and guarantee every group is equipped.
Reuse from one class to the next
Reset between groups: the questions and QR codes stay in place, only the pupils change.
Frequently asked questions
Does every pupil need a phone?+
No. One device per group of three is enough, and it's actually better: it creates a discussion before the answer rather than an individual race.
Can we track each pupil's results?+
Tracking works at the player level, which is the group if they play together. Scores and answer details export as CSV at the end of the session.
Does it work on a school trip?+
Yes, provided there is mobile signal on site. Questions load from the internet each time a code is scanned.
