Review Game Board Builder
Turn a list of review questions into a quiz-show game board. Pick a tile, reveal the question, show the answer, and give the points to whoever got it. It keeps score for up to four players or teams.
A review game gets more practice out of a student than a worksheet does, because every question has a stake. It works one-on-one (student vs. tutor), with siblings, or on a shared screen in an online session. Type your questions under category headings, press Play, and the board, the scoring, and the answer key are handled for you.
Questions
Start each category with # Category name, then write one question per line as question | answer. The first question in a category is the easiest and lowest-point tile.

Tips for running a great review game
- Order questions easy to hard. The first question under each category becomes the lowest-point tile. Students will pick the easy tiles first to warm up, and the high-point tiles become the stretch goals.
- One student? Play student vs. tutor, and take the questions the student passes on. Or use a single team and set a target score to beat next session.
- Online sessions. Share your screen and press Full screen. The student calls out a category and value, and you click it.
- Mistakes happen. Click a played tile to put it back on the board, and use the − / + buttons under any score to fix points.
- The double-points tile is hidden until someone picks it. It’s never in the first row, and it moves each time you start a new game.
- Reuse your boards. Copy the share link to open the same board later on another device, or to send it to a colleague. The whole board is stored inside the link itself, so nothing is uploaded.
- Printing gives you a one-page answer key organized by category and point value, handy to keep in your lap while you run the game.
Everything runs in your browser. Your board and the game in progress are saved on this device, so a refresh won’t lose the score.
