Students

Have a game code?

Your teacher's screen shows a 6-letter code. Type it here and you're in — no account, no app, no download.

Or type the full address — like quizblast.net/r/YOURCODE — into your browser's address bar.

Works on any phone, tablet, or laptop browser.

Real footage

Now watch a real game.

Under two minutes, start to finish: set up a game, students join, the board goes up — and both ways a class can get in.

Every piece, at a glance

Phones in. Mac decides. Projector shows.

Three screens, one game. Nothing installs anywhere, and nothing about your students leaves the room.

A student's phone on the join screen: a name field and the game PIN, with a Join Game button.
01

Phones in

Students open a link or scan the QR and type a first name. No app, no account.

The teacher's control panel on the Mac: a Jeopardy board with six categories and point-value tiles.
02

Mac decides

Your Mac runs the whole game: the board, the buzzer order, the scores. It stays on your desk.

03

Projector shows

The class sees the clue and the scores. Your answers and controls never go up on the wall.

Every mode included

Six ways to play. Nothing gated.

Team play costs extra on other platforms, and a real Jeopardy board usually means juggling a second website. Here it's one app, and for educators all of it is free.

Jeopardy

A full board, teams buzzing in.

The Jeopardy board with categories across the top and point-value tiles filling the grid, one already revealed.
  • Buzzer lockouts, just like the show
  • Daily Doubles + Final Jeopardy
Team buzzer

First buzz gets the floor.

A projected clue with the countdown timer running while teams race to buzz in, four team scores across the bottom.
  • Students answer out loud
  • You judge, the app scores
Classic quiz

A/B/C/D, all at once.

A projected quiz question with a countdown ring, four color-coded answers, and the student leaderboard.
  • Speed bonuses optional
  • Live leaderboard on screen
Flashcard race

Auto-advancing cards. Fast and correct earns more.

A flashcard race on the projector: the correct answer to 7 × 3 highlighted in green, with the live leaderboard of student scores along the bottom.
  • Cards advance on their own
  • Points for speed
Spin the wheel

Cold calls and Friday rewards.

The prize wheel landed on Liam, with Winner! underneath.
  • Random student or elimination
  • Load your roster in
Live polls

Ask anything, watch it fill.

Live poll results: four bars filling in as eight students vote on a field trip question.
  • No scoring, no pressure
  • Bars fill live on screen
Built for what actually happens in class

Made for real classrooms.

    The internet can go down mid-game and nobody notices.

Who's behind this

Built by the person who gets the help-desk ticket.

I work in IT for a K‑12 school district. When a classroom tool breaks, my phone is the one that rings — so I know exactly how these tools fail: the Wi‑Fi chokes, the filter blocks the site, the free plan ends mid-semester.

I built QuizBlast to be the tool that doesn't do that. It runs on your Mac, so the internet can't take it down. It has no student accounts, so there's no student data to worry about. And for teachers the app is free — really free — because you already spend too much of your own money on your classroom.

— Erick, builder of QuizBlast

Load-tested on a Mac with every student connected at the same time and a game actually running — not just joining.

  • 300 students at once — 100% stayed connected, question reached everyone within 12 ms
  • 600 students at once — 100% stayed connected, question reached everyone within 23 ms

Run on one Mac over its own loopback, so these numbers measure the app. In a real room your access point gives out long before QuizBlast does — which is what cloud mode is for.
