Vault Heist
A free live quiz game for the classroom
Every pupil guards a vault with a secret code. Right answers fill the vault, and a Hack Kit lets them try a rival's code.
The class board during a game of Vault Heist.
How a round plays
- Each pupil picks a secret code for their vault.
- A right answer adds credits and opens one of three boxes: more credits, nothing, or a Hack Kit.
- A Hack Kit lets the pupil guess a rival's code. Crack it and take about a fifth of their vault.
- A wrong answer costs nothing. The most credits when time runs out wins.
On the board: A wall of vault doors, one for every pupil, with the leader ringed in gold.
