Live trivia: questions on a screen, answers on everyone's phone. Free to host, nothing to install.

Parents

Make homework a game.

Load the week's spelling words or the science chapter. The kids play it with the whole family, together or apart, and the fun fact after every answer explains why it's right, so wrong answers teach.

An example: Spelling, Week 6

Here is one question from a real sample file. Four answers: one correct spelling and three misspellings a child might really write. After the answer, the screen shows the fun fact.

Spelling — Week 6
Which is the correct spelling of the word that means 'apart, not together'?
Aseparate
Bseprate
Cseperate
Dseparete
Fun factSeparate has 'a rat' hiding in the middle: sep-a-rat-e, so the second vowel is A, not E.

The sample file has 20 of these, for ages 8 to 11. Open it in a spreadsheet to see the columns, or import it as it is.

The fun fact is the lesson

Most quizzes tell a child they were wrong and move on. Here, every question ends with a line or two on why the right answer is right: the rule, the memory trick, the common mix-up. It stays on everyone's screen for about seven seconds, long enough to read aloud, and you can hold it longer if the family wants to talk about it.

When you make your own file, ask for that. The prompt we give you already tells the AI to explain the rule and name the classic confusion rather than restate the answer.

Two difficulty levels, in this order

Standard first

Play a category on Standard until the kids are clearing it comfortably.

Then Pro

The next difficulty up, for when Standard has become easy.

Scores are kept per category, so you can see which topics still need work. Anyone can play, parents included, from their own phone or PC.

  2. Get the questionsImport the sample file above, or use our prompt to have your AI turn this week's list or chapter into a file. A category plays once it holds 12 questions; the sample has 20.
  3. PlayPick the category on your host page and press Start a game. Everyone joins on their own phone or PC with your four-letter room code. A TV is optional.
Check the file first. An AI can get a spelling or a fact wrong. Skim what it writes before the kids see it, especially the correct answers and the fun facts.
