Game of Life (Educational)

It is an interactive board game inspired by the classic Game of Life, adapted for the classroom. Teams roll the die and advance through a board with educational squares: trivia questions, group challenges, timed debates and special squares. The first team to reach the finish wins, but points earned along the way determine the final ranking.

The board includes 7 types of squares: Trivia (multiple choice, true/false or open answer question, worth +100 points), Group challenge (a task the team completes together, worth +75 points), Debate (the team defends a position with a timer, worth +100 points), Advance (move forward), Go back (move backward), Lose a turn and Bonus points (+50 extra).

Yes. In the Content tab of the setup you can write your own trivia questions (formatted as 'Question // Answer'), your own group challenges and your own debate topics. They are mixed with the selected question bank for more variety.

5 thematic banks with 20 questions each: Natural Sciences, History and Geography, Mathematics, Language and General Culture. There is also an 'All' option that mixes questions from all banks at random. Each bank includes multiple choice, true/false and open answer questions.

When a team lands on a debate square, the topic appears along with a button to start the timer. The teacher presses 'Start timer' when the team begins speaking. The counter counts down from the configured time (30 seconds, 60 seconds or no limit). When it ends, the teacher evaluates whether the argument was good and decides whether the team earns the 100 points.

2 to 4 teams can play simultaneously. Each team has their own color token and customizable name. The game tracks each team's score throughout the entire game.

Multiple choice questions show 4 options (A, B, C, D). The teacher reads the question aloud and the team discusses. Then the team chooses an option by clicking. The game automatically reveals whether it is correct (green) or incorrect (red) and shows the correct answer. If they get it right, 100 points are automatically added.

It depends on the configuration. With 20 squares and 3 teams it can last 20–30 minutes. With 30–40 squares and 4 teams, about 40–50 minutes. It can be stopped at any point and the teams with the most points win by position and score.

Yes. The tool is designed to be projected. The full-screen button (top right corner during the game) fills the entire screen, ideal for projectors or interactive screens.

The Educational Game of Life is grounded in Game-Based Learning, Purposeful Gamification and Cooperative Learning. The dice and board mechanic activates motivation, while the challenges and debates foster oral participation and critical thinking.

The game works Critical thinking (analyzing questions and making decisions), Oral expression (defending positions in the debate), collaboration (solving group challenges), and Frustration tolerance (managing negative squares like going back or losing a turn).

The Educational Game of Life adds two new types of squares: Debate (with a configurable timer and oral argumentation) and Bonus points. The trivia also includes multiple choice questions with automatic verification — the game reveals whether the answer is correct without the teacher having to validate it. It also shows a cumulative score per team in addition to board position.

It works very well for both elementary and secondary school. In elementary it is ideal for reviewing content in a playful way and working in teams. In secondary it enables more complex debates and challenges with greater conceptual depth. Teachers can adapt the questions to any level by loading their own content bank.
