HOW TO PLAY
1. Start a new game.
2. Select the amount of student teams, the map and to display questions on screen or not*.
3. Select a climber and name for each team of students.
4. Start the game by asking all teams a question.
5. Enter correct or incorrect for each team.

*Deciding not to display questions on screen will allow teachers to ask a question aloud, add supporting material in a separate window (a video, an audio, a larger math problem, etc.) and use the game without making it content dependent.
Game tip: As each group answers every question each time, we recommend that you use some small dry erase boards or notebooks to keep track of each team answers. That way, teams won't copy each other's answers as they respond aloud.
