One Way Out -- new game mode!
game update

One Way Out -- new game mode!

The only way we're getting through this...is together.

One Way Out is here, our newest game mode! This mode is our first-ever PvE (Player versus Environment) mode!

In this mode, students start on a spaceship that has unfortunately been taken over by evil plants!

Together, they'll have to traverse the spaceship, defeat the evil plant enemies, collect new gear, unlock gates, and avoid traps!

The only way to win is to get everybody off the ship. They'll need to strategize, communicate, and learn from their mistakes to make their way through the ship, fight back, and get everyone to safety.

It won't be easy, but we know you can do it. Take a deep breath, work together, and find the one way out.

Snowy Survival - new game mode!

Snowy Survival - new game mode!

Worlds collide, try to survive! Snowy Survival is here, our newest game mode!

In Snowy Survival, your goal is simple: survive as long as possible.

At the start of the game, one player is randomly cursed and given a Snowball Launcher to knockout other players. Everybody else must run and evade the curse. If they are knocked out, they become cursed too! 

The game only ends when everyone is cursed!

As you play, you'll discover relics from other game modes. Something strange is happening, and there are secrets to uncover.

Best of luck to you in this strange new world!

Your Rules Update!
game update

Your Rules Update!

We launched Snowbrawl in December and it allowed you to customize the number of snowballs earned per question. You all loved this feature as it allowed you to customize the balance between answering questions & gameplay.

Well, I've got some good news. We've brought this level of control over to every 2D game mode!

In Fishtopia, you can now customize the number of bait per question. In Tag: Domination, Capture The Flag, & Farmchain, you can now customize the energy granted per question. You'll find it in the game options when you go to host a game.

This gives you full control over the game balance in all 2D modes. Not enough progression? Give students more reward per question. Too much gameplay and not enough learning? Lower the reward per question.

Your game! Your rules!

I hope you and your students enjoy this new update! Let us know what you think!

Powered Up Tuesday - Pumpkin Pie

🥧 The PUMPKIN PIE Powerup is BACK for Thanksgiving!

Students can use this powerup to pie other players! They won't be able to answer questions or visit the shop for 15 seconds!

This powerup does the same thing as the Icer, so you may have a few students who ask where the Icer went. Let them know it'll be back after Thanksgiving, but for now they have our permission to throw pies! 😆
