Note: You don't need to be signed in to join a game unless your teacher requires it for materials inside a class. If you are signed in, your points also count toward your coins and XP.

During the game

In Classic mode you'll see four coloured answer tiles (A, B, C, D) and a timer bar — the question itself is on your teacher's screen, so keep an eye on it. Tap the tile that matches the right answer. After each question you'll see whether you were correct, the points you earned and your current streak.

After the game

When the game ends you'll see your place, the coins you earned, and tiles for your Score, Rank, Streak and Points, plus the XP you gained toward your next level. Scroll down to review every question with the correct answer highlighted.
