Interactive Game
Star Quest
Teams sail an island of surprise cards — six kinds of challenge, and a class pet that hatches while you play.
- Ages 3–11
Classroom games
A class of twenty needs different tools than a single student: something big enough to read from the back row, fair enough that nobody argues, and fast enough to fit between two exercises. That is what this shelf is.
They work for any subject — the picking, timing and scoring games do not care what you teach. The word games take an English topic when you want one.

A painted carnival wheel with your class on its slices. Spin it, hear the ratchet slow, and a ticket prints with the lucky name.

Every name is a pebble in a leather pouch. Tip it over a circle of standing stones and the class lands in fair, random teams.
Interactive Game

A torchlit great hall where every team is a banner — each point hoists it higher, a crest stamps the cloth, and the crown drifts to the leader.

Questions teachers ask
Do these work without internet?
Once a game page has loaded, it keeps running if the connection drops — everything happens in the browser. Open the tabs you need before class if the school wifi is unreliable.
Where do the student names come from?
You type them once in the name wheel or the team maker, and they stay on that device for next time. They are stored locally in your browser — never uploaded, never seen by us.
How do I stop the game turning into chaos?
Set the finish line before you start: the timer on screen, or a score you play to. A visible ending is what keeps a class calm — and the quiet meter is there for the moment it slips anyway.
