Hidden Balance Trial

Hey everyone!

Starting today, we're running a Hidden Balance trial in Gimkit. What this means is student balances will be hidden on the leaderboard until the end of the game.

This trial will only be present in Classic Mode games, not Team Mode games. To get more details on this trial and why we're running it, read here: https://blog.gimkit.com/blog/hidden-balance-trial

Excited to hear the feedback from you and your students!

Hidden Mode is Back!

🙈 Hidden Mode is back for this week only!

In this mode, the leaderboard doesn't display names or balance amounts. Students won't be able to see their balances either!

Stay hidden and have fun!
