? How to play

1

Choose 2–6 teams and type their names. Pick a board (filter by level A1, A2 or B1) and press Play.

2

A team chooses a category and points, for example “Animals for 300”. Tap that tile. The clue opens full screen.

3

Read the clue (or press 🔈). Teams put up their hands. Press Show answer when someone answers.

4

Press ✔ under a team to give the points, or ✖ to take them away. Then go Back to the board. The tile turns dark.

5

Daily Double! A hidden tile. Only the choosing team plays. They wager (bet) points first. Right = win the wager, wrong = lose it.

6

Final Round: every team sees the category, writes a wager, then answers one last clue. The highest score wins!
