• A school class can have a maximum of 25 people (students and adult supervisors).
• It’s a good idea to split the class into several teams. Ideally, each team should have a maximum of 8 people.
• After booking, you’ll receive a code for the game. This code can be redeemed by all participants, so a maximum of 25 times. By this point, it should be clear which students belong to which team.
• A person from the team then clicks the "Create Team" button and gives the team a name. The team members click "Join Team" and join the team using the team name.
• Teams should start with a time gap of about 2-3 minutes, so they can’t just follow each other.
• Generally, each person plays on their own smartphone. By answering the questions on their phones, participants compete against each other and see a ranking of all players. This makes it even more fun.
• If not every child in the class has an internet-enabled smartphone, the game can still be played. Those children can play on another child’s smartphone. All teams should have the same number of smartphones. Each team needs at least one smartphone.
