Games

Every game, one class list.

Two kinds. Terminology games drill the words of a trade; Role Player gets a class ready for the roleplay you run in the room. Students join with a code from their teacher, no sign-up.

Terminology · 6 games live

One set of terms, played six ways

Build the topic once and every game below runs on it, as a class round with a live leaderboard or as practice. Quick, scored, and over before anyone drifts.

Speed Sort

One term at a time, sorted into its category against the clock.

  1. A term appears on a card.
  2. Tap the category it belongs in before the clock runs down.
  3. Right answers in a row build your streak.

Class round or practiceAgainst the clock

Match Pairs

Each term paired with its definition, a handful at a time.

  1. Pick a term.
  2. Then pick the definition that belongs to it.
  3. Clear the board to get the next handful.

Class round or practiceA handful at a time

Term Titans

Beat the topic's Titan by firing the right term at every attack.

  1. The Titan attacks with a question about a term.
  2. Tap the right answer to hit it — five in a row is a super hit.
  3. Get every term right once and the Titan falls. Each wrong answer costs a shield; lose all three and it wins this round.

Word Rocket

Fly the rocket through the gate with the right term, all the way to a new planet.

  1. Mission control asks about a term.
  2. Tap the gate with the right answer and fly through it.
  3. Get every term right once to land. Each wrong answer costs a shield; lose all three and the flight ends.
What happens in the trailer

The trailer is silent and lasts 15 seconds. A title card reads “Word Rocket, a MeraLearn game”. Mission Control asks: “Head of the kitchen. Owns the menu, the ordering and the staff. Fly through the term.” Three gates hold Chef de Cuisine, Rôtisseur and Tournant. The rocket flies through Chef de Cuisine, the right one, then through three more right gates. On the fifth right answer the screen shows “Hyperdrive!” and gold speed lines. The rocket lands, with the words “Touchdown on Vesta Prime!”, and the end card repeats the game’s line: “Fly the rocket through the gate with the right term, all the way to a new planet.”

Class round or practiceOne question at a time

Mystery Reveal

Every right answer lifts a tile off a hidden term. Guess it early for more stars.

  1. A term is hidden behind nine tiles.
  2. Every right answer lifts a tile off it. Each wrong answer costs a shield; lose all three and the round ends.
  3. Tap “I know it!” as soon as you can — the earlier, the more stars.

Class round or practiceNine tiles to lift

Chain Reaction

Pop the bubble with the right term, and its whole group pops with it. Sweeps ask for every term in a group.

  1. Read the question at the top.
  2. Pop the bubble with the right answer — its group pops with it. Each wrong pop costs a shield; lose all three and the round ends.
  3. When a sweep comes, pop every bubble in that group.

Role Player · 1 live, more on the way

Prepare on the phone. Perform in class.

Preparing for a roleplay, and then running it. Different content, different logic, so it is its own kind of game, not another terminology drill.

Ready for the roleplay

Students prepare on their phones for a roleplay you run in class, and take their own answers into it.

  1. Answer the questions on your phone to get ready for the roleplay.
  2. Hand in when you are done — you can change an answer until you do.
  3. Keep your answers with you: they are what you use in the roleplay in class.

Prepared on a phonePerformed in class

On the way for Role Player: Script Builder and Hot Seat are in development; Objection!, Scene Swap and Improv Cards are planned.
