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.

In Person Classrooms:

• If you are creating an activity using an “External Question Set”, distribute your questions to the game participants (this can be done via handout, projector/computer screen, etc.). If you are creating an activity using an “Embedded Question Set,” load the question set or upload the questions directly to Breakout Fun!

• Load or set up your game parameters (# of rounds, questions, answer key, etc.)

• Assign students to their teams or groups and have them (or a Team Captain) log into the BOF game using the activity code on their phone, tablet, or laptop

• Begin the game and let the collaboration and friendly competition begin!

Breakout Fun! is also perfect to use with online meeting platforms with screen sharing capabilities not limited to Zoom, Webex, Google Hangouts, and Microsoft Teams.

There are many creative ways to use Breakout Fun!  It is a wonderful solution for engaging audiences in schools, events, and the workplace.

Breakout Fun! has been used with great results for:

• Virtual bridal and baby showers (ask us about our example slide deck for a recent baby shower that had a great time using it and we’d be happy to pass it along!)

• Workplace team building activities

• Virtual Happy Hours

• HR Onboarding / Orientation

• Trivia Nights – save yourself the hassle of paper sheets and score tallying by using Breakout Fun! for your next trivia night!

3 – Assign teams and PLAY!

• Have your students join the game using the QR code at the top of the screen, OR provide your students or participants with the “Activity Code” generated for the game. As students join they will appear in the Game Lobby, ready for team assignment.

• Assign players to their team and you are ready to play! Hit “Start” and the game begins!

The game can be easily joined by scanning the QR code at the top of the screen in the Game Lobby, or you can provide your students or participants with the “Activity Code” generated for the game (this can also be found at the top of the screen) so that they can join the lobby on their phone, tablet, or laptop.

*Note: students / participants do NOT need their own account or login to play!

As students or game participants log into the game by scanning the QR code or using the Activity Code, you can assign them to their respective teams using the dropdown highlighted below.

To change a team name, click the “pencil” button on the right hand side, then update with the new name.

Once the name has been updated, make sure you save the changes by clicking in the same spot on the right side of the page, and your team name is now in place!

Oftentimes teams or study groups have predetermined names that can be entered, and teams love choosing their own fun names as well!
