- Draw Me a Hint. With a partner. If you are stuck, your teammate sees the answer and draws you a clue. Asking for help never costs points.
- A hosted game. The whole study group on a call, with Lumi and buzzers.
Nobody's weak spots are shown to the group.
Pack labels. Soon
Not built yet. Each pack will carry one of three labels:
- Topic practice. Questions on a subject, such as SAT vocabulary.
- Source-checked review. Every answer checked against the named text.
- Class-approved review. A teacher confirmed that the pack matches the class.
We write our own questions. Texts are public domain, like Project Gutenberg's Romeo and Juliet, or used with permission. We do not copy textbook pages.
Vietnamese family packs: soon.
What we can and cannot claim. Classroom research supports low-stakes quizzing and spaced practice for remembering things. Whether Solace Trivia itself improves grades has not been measured. We will not claim results before it is.
Study with someone today.
Study hour is at 4:30 pm Eastern, every day.
Free during the beta. Demo games are for adults; kids play with a parent in the room.
