For Classroom Teachers

Zero setup. A full class, engaged, in minutes.

You run it with a real class on a Tuesday. No install, no logins to manage, no marking pile-up, students join with a PIN and the dashboard records what they do as they go.

How a session runs

1

Start a session

Log in with the teacher password and your licence key, choose the course, year group and round length, and get a 6-digit PIN.

2

Students join

They open the link on a laptop, desktop or Chromebook and type the PIN. When everyone is in and you open firm setup, the game makes up to eight firms and gives every firm a CEO.

3

You steer the market

The rounds run on the clock. Pause to discuss, start the round 3 crisis, watch the live chart. At the end each student downloads a private report, and your class analysis arrives by email within 48 hours.

Why it works on a busy timetable

Built for the realities of the room

No install, no logins

Runs in the browser on a laptop, desktop or Chromebook. Students join with a PIN and a first name or nickname, nothing to download.

Flexible length

Three rounds of 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes each, so a session fits a one-hour lesson or a longer one. The rounds move on by themselves when the clock runs out, so it never stalls.

Assessment stays with you

The live dashboard records decisions as they happen. At the end each student downloads a private report, and your class analysis arrives by email within 48 hours. The game checks only the multiple-choice Knowledge Check answers and turns nothing into a mark: the reports show what was recorded and the topic of each Knowledge Check question, and you decide what it shows about each student.

Aligned to what you teach

Knowledge Check questions are written for 23 Business courses, and the Curriculum page shows where key decisions meet Edexcel topics, so it counts as curriculum time, not edutainment.
