Throne

One student against the class. One holds the throne and everyone else answers to take it.

  • One champion against the class
  • Phones, tablets or laptops
  • Free to host, and students need no account

How to win

Challengers: answer correctly to deal damage to the throne. Throne: answer correctly to heal and activate a shield. Dethrone the champion before time runs out.

Why it works in a lesson

Throne creates a genuine spectacle. Nominate your top student and watch the class unite to take them down. Or let a quieter student volunteer and surprise everyone. It turns revision into an event — the kind of lesson students talk about afterwards.
