Bonanza Royale
A free live quiz game for the classroom
A fast tapping game for the whole class. Every answer earns a few seconds of smashing, and right answers earn far more.

How a round plays
- Each pupil answers their own run of questions. A right answer opens a 5.5-second frenzy on a gold vein, chest or piñata; a wrong one opens a 3-second frenzy on a smaller target.
- Pupils tap as fast as they can. Quick taps build a combo that multiplies the loot.
- Crack the target open for the motherlode, then bank it or keep tapping for more. Every extra tap risks a cave-in that loses the extra haul. A motherlode can also give a power-up: an auto-hammer, Gold Rush or extra time.
- Every fourth right answer in a row is a Fever round with extra time. The most loot banked when time runs out wins.
On the board: Every pupil's loot as it grows, with a line for each motherlode cracked, huge haul and big cave-in.
