Egg Hatchery
A free live quiz game for the classroom
A collecting game for the whole class. Right answers hatch creatures, and the class works together to find all 24.
A pupil's screen during a game of Egg Hatchery.
How a round plays
- A right answer puts three eggs in the pupil's nest. They tap one to hatch it.
- Each egg holds one of 24 creatures. Common ones score 10 points; rare, epic and legendary ones score 15, 20 and 30.
- Every fifth right answer in a row brings a single Golden Egg instead, which is always rare or better. Hatching the same creature again fills a stardust jar, which brings one too.
- A wrong answer costs nothing. The most points at the end wins.
On the board: The class creature wall: all 24 creatures, how many of each the class has hatched, and who found each one first.
