⛰️ Don't Look Down

Conquer a challenging aerial obstacle course in this fast-paced 2D game mode!

Your goal? To race to the top before time runs out or someone else gets to the final peak first.

Answer questions to fuel your ascent of 6 treacherous summits. One mistake can lead to a long fall. Make sure every move is precise. The higher up you make it, the longer you have to fall. Try not to let that worry you — just don’t look down! 🙈

Don't Look Down for Assignments



This mode is available for Assignments!

When assigning this mode, you can pick which summit you want your students to climb to. Since reaching the question goal will also end the game, the higher you set the summit goal, the higher you may want to set the question goal and/or the energy gained per question.
