Plinko Party
A free live quiz game for the classroom
One Plinko board for the whole class. Right answers earn chips; where a chip lands decides the prize.
The class board during a game of Plinko Party.
How a round plays
- A right answer earns coins and one chip.
- The pupil taps to drop the chip from a sliding dropper. It bounces down into one of nine slots.
- Slots pay coins or a jackpot, or let the pupil steal from, swap with or bomb the players ahead.
- A wrong answer earns no chip but loses nothing. The most coins at the end wins.
On the board: The class's Plinko machine, with every pupil's chips falling in their own colour.
