Live Classroom Quiz
Real-time quiz games for class
Run live quiz games with join codes. Students answer on their phones, see the leaderboard, and get instant feedback. No accounts, no downloads.
Turn formative assessment into a game
Live classroom quizzes combine the engagement of a game with the pedagogical value of retrieval practice. Students compete in real time, answer questions on their devices, and see their score climb (or drop) with each round. The social stakes—the leaderboard, the countdown—recruit attention that a paper quiz can't.
And because Examina generates questions from your lesson notes using AI, you can launch a game in under a minute: paste today's content, generate questions, open the room, and students join with a code. Same energy as dedicated game platforms, but with questions drawn from YOUR curriculum.
Join codes, no accounts
Display the join code. Students enter it and a nickname from any device—phones, tablets, laptops. No sign-ups, no app installs.
Real-time leaderboards
After each question, the leaderboard updates live. Project it for the class or keep it private. Students see their rank instantly.
Instant explanations
After each round, display the correct answer and an explanation. Turn the game into a teaching moment.
