What Is Classroom Mode

Structured Live Classroom Quiz Games Built for Teachers

Classroom Mode is TriviaMaker's purpose-built mode for educators who need more than a fun quiz – they need data. You create classrooms, add students, and every student joins live games using a unique PIN tied to their name.

Unlike Crowd Mode or Presenter Mode – where participation is anonymous – Classroom Mode records every answer to every student. That means you see exactly who answered what, who struggled with which concept, and who's ready for the test before test day arrives.

Individual Student Tracking

Every answer tied to a real student name – not an anonymous score.

PIN-Based Student Login

Students get a unique PIN by email. That's all they need to play – no accounts, no apps.

Export Results for Gradebooks

Download per-student performance data as CSV – ready for grading or parent reports.

6 Game Styles

Pick the Format That Fits Your Lesson

Classroom Mode works across 6 game styles. Same student tracking, totally different energy.

Trivia Style

Trivia Style

Classic multiple-choice questions displayed on the big screen. Students answer on their phones. Great for formative checks and knowledge tests.

Grid Style

Grid Style

Jeopardy-style category board with point values. Students select categories and compete for scores. The go-to for end-of-unit review that students request by name.

List Style

List Style

Family Feud-inspired format where students name as many items in a category as they can. Perfect for brainstorming, vocabulary, and creative review sessions.

Wheel Style

Wheel Style

Spin the wheel to land on a category, then answer the question. High-energy, unpredictable, and surprisingly effective for keeping distracted students focused.

TicTac Style

TicTac Style

Strategic team play meets trivia - answer a question correctly to claim a square on the board. Great for team-based lessons and building collaboration skills.

Fusion Style

Fusion Style

Mix multiple question formats - multiple choice, single answer, and list - in one game. Keeps students on their toes and prevents the "I know the pattern" problem.

Your next classroom game is 2 minutes away.

Create a classroom, add your students, choose a game style, and go live. Students will ask to do it again every single week.

Perfect For

Built for Every Moment in the Classroom

From daily warm-ups to final review sessions - Classroom Mode makes every activity count.

Daily Warm-Ups

Start every lesson with a quick 5-question round that surfaces gaps from the previous day. Students are engaged before you've even opened your slides.

End-of-Unit Review

Turn boring review days into Grid-style game show competitions. Students compete, laugh, and retain - instead of scrolling their phones while you re-read slides.

Formative Assessment

Run a quiz mid-lesson to check comprehension. Because every answer is tracked to a student, you know exactly who needs reteaching - not just a rough class average.

Vocabulary & Spelling

Use Hangman or List style for vocabulary drills and spelling practice. Students are competing against each other, not staring at a flashcard app.

Homework & Async Study

Share the game link for students to complete on their own schedule with Assignment Mode. Track who submitted and how they scored - automatically.

Classroom Competitions

Run weekly class tournaments with a running leaderboard across sessions. A little friendly competition goes a long way toward genuine engagement.

Built-in Analytics

Know Which Students Need Help Before Test Day

After every Classroom Mode session, you get a full breakdown – not just a class average. You see each student's score, which questions they missed, and how they're trending over time.

Export everything as CSV for your gradebook or parent-teacher conferences. No extra platform. No manual tallying.

Individual Student Reports

See each student's performance question by question, not just their total score.

Class Averages

Instant class-wide overview so you know which topics landed and which didn't.

Progress Over Time

Track student growth across multiple sessions throughout the semester.

CSV Export

Download results for gradebooks, parent reports, or your own records instantly.

Everything You Need

Features Designed Around How Teachers Actually Teach

Every feature in Classroom Mode exists to make your life easier and your lessons more effective.

CSV Roster Import

Add an entire class in seconds. Download the CSV template, fill in names and emails, upload, and done. Every student is added simultaneously with their PINs generated automatically.

Launch a full playlist of games with your classroom. Students play through every game in sequence, and you see individual participation and progress across the entire session.

Any Device, No App

Students join on any phone, tablet, or laptop by entering their PIN in a web browser. No app to download, no account to create, no tech support needed in the middle of class.

Multiple Classrooms

Teacher Reviews

Loved by Teachers Across Every Grade Level

Not just for special occasions - Classroom Mode becomes a weekly routine because students genuinely ask for it.

"I run a 10-question review game every Friday and students are in their seats before the bell. The individual tracking means I actually know who needs extra support - not just a gut feeling. It's changed how I plan Monday's lessons."

"I teach 4th grade and the Wheel style is the one they beg for. Classroom Mode means even my quietest kids get tracked and noticed. The Grid style during our history unit? Students were literally cheering. I've been teaching 12 years and this is the first tool I recommend without hesitation."

FAQ

Classroom Mode - Teacher Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before your first session.

Classroom Mode is a structured game mode designed specifically for teachers. You create classrooms, add students, and every student joins live quiz games using a unique PIN tied to their name. Every answer is tracked individually, giving you detailed per-student analytics and progress reports - not just a class-wide leaderboard.

No. Students join using a unique PIN sent to their email. No student account, no app download, and no login screen is required. They simply enter their PIN on any web browser on any device to participate. You can be live in under 60 seconds from the start of class.

You can import your existing Google Classroom directly into TriviaMaker. Your student roster transfers automatically, and every student receives their unique PIN by email. Use the Synchronize button anytime you add or remove students in Google Classroom to keep everything up to date.

Classroom Mode supports 6 game styles: Trivia (multiple choice), Grid (Jeopardy-style), List (Family Feud-style), Wheel (spin and answer), TicTac (strategic team play), and Fusion (mixed formats). All 6 styles track individual student performance the same way.

After every session you get individual student performance reports, class averages, question-by-question breakdowns showing which items were commonly missed, participation tracking, and progress data across multiple sessions. Everything can be exported as CSV for your gradebook or parent communication.

Classroom Mode is the only TriviaMaker mode that ties every answer to a named student. Crowd Mode and Presenter Mode are great for anonymous live participation at events or in front of large groups - but they don't track individuals or store longitudinal progress data. Classroom Mode is built specifically for the ongoing teacher-student relationship.

Yes. TriviaMaker's free plan includes Classroom Mode for up to 20 students with basic game styles and analytics. Premium Plus ($49.99/year) unlocks up to 200 students, all 6 game styles, Google Classroom sync, full analytics export, and all other TriviaMaker features. No credit card needed to get started.

Absolutely - this is one of the primary reasons teachers use Classroom Mode. Because every student response is recorded, you can identify exactly which concepts need more reteaching before test day. Many teachers run a Classroom Mode session the day before a test to see which students are not yet ready, then use the data to guide the next day's instruction.
