Questions about this template

Can I run it with a class of 30 on one projector?
Yes. Open the link on the classroom screen and let the class call out answers, or split into teams that each open the link on a phone or tablet. No accounts or installs, just a browser.
Which topics does it cover?
A mental maths problem about dozens, photosynthesis in biology and the Apollo 11 Moon landing in history. Each answer can be worked out from the question itself, so pupils reason rather than look things up.
What if a team gets stuck?
Each step has a hint that nearly gives the answer, and a wrong answer shows a friendly message rather than a penalty. Solved clues can stay visible, so teams can see how far they have come.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone. Publishing it with its paid options needs an Event Pass or Pro; remove them at Publish and it goes live on the free plan, for good.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and reward opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 30 minutes, from the first lock to the reward.
