Scoreboard

1. Setup

• Select a vocabulary list and customise it if needed.
• Choose the number of teams and students in each team.
• Give each student a letter (A, B, C, etc.) within their team.
• Choose the victory point threshold.
• Choose between GIF and JPG images.
• Enable Mystery Boxes if you want to use them.
• If you are playing with 3 or more teams, you can also enable Bombs.

2. Slideshow Phase

• The vocabulary is presented with the image and word together.
• The first presentation is a whole-class pronunciation drill.
• After the first presentation, individual students take turns.
• Students are called in letter order: Student A from each team, then Student B, Student C, and so on.
• Use the arrows to move through the vocabulary.
• Use the speaker button to hear the pronunciation.
• When everyone is ready, click Start Showdown.

3. Showdown Phase

• The words are hidden and only the images remain.
• Students must identify each vocabulary item.
• Correct answers earn points.
• Consecutive correct answers build a streak, increasing the points earned: 1, 1, 2, 4, 8, and so on.
• An incorrect answer resets the streak.
• If enabled, Mystery Boxes appear during the game and give teams a choice between KEEP and SWITCH.
• If enabled, Bombs can also appear when playing with 3 or more teams.
• A Shield protects a team from one negative effect and is used up when it blocks an effect.
• Some Mystery Box effects change the next few images. Fog blurs them, Mushroom makes them larger, and Tornado spins them.
• The first team to reach the chosen victory threshold wins.

4. Solo Showdown

• Solo Showdown uses the same image-based vocabulary recall.
• Work through the vocabulary list once, identifying each image.
• Correct answers build your score and streak.
• If enabled, Mystery Boxes can give bonuses, score multipliers, Shields, or negative effects.
• Solo Showdown ends when you have completed the full vocabulary list.
• Your final result is then displayed.
