Raid Night
A free live quiz game for the classroom
The whole class against one boss. Every pupil answers on their own screen, and every right answer knocks the boss's health down on the board.
A pupil's screen during a game of Raid Night.
How a round plays
- Every right answer is a hit on the Shadow Golem with the pupil's name on it. Harder questions and streaks hit harder.
- Every 16 to 26 seconds the Golem targets a few pupils. A right answer within 12 seconds dodges the blow. Classmates can tap to shield them, or revive anyone it knocks down.
- Quick beats break up the fight: BRACE (everyone taps together), STRIKE NOW (double damage) and SHIELD WALL (enough right answers cancel the next attack).
- The class wins if the boss's health reaches 0 before time runs out. The podium ranks raid points and names the top hitter and the top saviour.
On the board: The Shadow Golem with the class health bar, every hit flying in with a pupil's name, then RAID WON or THE GOLEM SURVIVES.
