2. How It Works

Students play games daily to accumulate points for their class. The process emphasizes team effort over individual success, as participation by all students is the most important factor in scoring.

Each day, each class has 90 game tries available. These tries are evenly distributed across all students, ensuring that everyone’s participation counts equally.

Scoring:

• Participation: Each student earns 1,000 points simply for participating, regardless of their game score. Every game played contributes to the class total, encouraging everyone to join in.

• Game Success: Answering more than 5 questions correctly in a game earns additional points, rewarding effort and success. The higher the accuracy, the more points are added to the class total.

The class score is the cumulative total of all student contributions. Encouraging consistent participation from all students is key to maximizing the class’s points and improving its ranking.

💡 Pro tip: Consistent participation by all students boosts class scores.

The event features five competitive divisions, ensuring that every class has a fair chance to advance based on their performance. Classes are promoted or demoted daily based on their cumulative scores.

Rankings are updated daily at midnight, reflecting each class’s performance from the previous day. This ensures that progress is tracked consistently, and students can see the results of their efforts.
