Pirate Plunder
A free live quiz game for the classroom
A team game for the whole class. Two crews sail a map of 15 islands and answer questions to claim them.
The class board during a game of Pirate Plunder.
How a round plays
- The class splits into two crews as pupils join.
- A pupil sails to an island. When they dock, a question opens.
- A right answer claims, weakens or strengthens the island. A wrong answer while attacking an enemy island sends the ship home.
- Islands pay gold to their crew every few seconds. The crew with more gold when time runs out wins.
On the board: The island map with every ship, who holds each island, and both crews' scores.
