What it does
Heapso writes 5 to 20 multiple-choice questions from a lesson, unit or topic, each with 2 to 4 answers and a short explanation. Edit them, add more (up to 50) and set a time limit for each question.
When you host, students join with a 6-digit PIN or by scanning a QR code, and type a nickname. Up to 200 players can join. Faster answers score more, streaks earn bonus points, and a leaderboard after each question leads to a podium at the end. You can lock joining and remove players.
Who it's for
Teachers who want a quick retrieval check at the start or end of a lesson, and anyone who runs revision games.
