Splat Wall
A free live quiz game for the classroom
Two teams paint one wall. Every answer loads a paint ball for a slingshot, and the team that covers the most wall wins.

How a round plays
- The class splits into two teams, Tangerine and Teal, kept even as pupils join.
- A right answer loads a full paint ball and a wrong answer a small drip ball. Every third right answer in a row is a MEGA ball with five times the paint.
- Pupils drag back on the slingshot and let go to splat the wall. After 10 seconds the ball throws itself.
- Later splats paint over earlier ones, and near the end Paint Frenzy makes every splat bigger. The team covering the most wall when time runs out wins.
On the board: The whole wall as it fills, a bar showing each team's share, names on the newest splats, and each team's best painter.
