Create a game using an external question set.
Create a game using an embedded question set.
In effort to save time and energy, we’ve compiled a Breakout Fun! FAQ based on the most common questions we’ve come across.
Great question!
“External Question Set” means you will be distributing the questions to your participants directly, either via a handout, overhead projector, PDF, screen share, etc. This option allows you to set up a game in about 5 minutes because you only need to add the game parameters and answer key.
The “Embedded” question set option allows you to upload the questions directly to the Breakout Fun! application to be displayed within the game screen. This is a great option for games that you are setting up ahead of time and ones that will be played in virtual/hybrid settings.
Both types of question sets can be saved for later use! Results of the game can also be downloaded for later reference and study guides.
The Breakout Fun! game creator allows users to build games that can be seamlessly played in face to face, virtual, or hybrid settings.
Once a game is created, it can easily be played online or in person.
