The lobby·
Every shared game, in one place. Play a classmate's game, then leave the maker a note. Notes are how games get better.
Sign in with your student ID and PIN to see it. Each card shows the game's stage, when it was shared or updated, how many plays and how many notes it has. No notes yet means nobody has left one: it is waiting on you.

Finding a game·
- Find a game: type part of its name, its maker's name, or the starter it is based on.
- The four views: Every game, My periods, No notes yet (never your own) and Yours. Every kind narrows it to one kind of game.
- Play next comes first: games from your own periods, the ones with the fewest notes first, and your own games last. Sort by Newest, Most played or A to Z instead. Pinned games stay at the top of every sort.
- Your own game is bracketed. Share copies its link. If nothing matches, Show every game brings them all back.
Notes for the maker·
On a classmate's game page, play it, then Leave a note for the maker. Say where you got stuck, then tap I finished it or I stopped here. How long you played goes with the note. You get one note on each version of a game. The maker sees another player, never your name. If the maker asked a question, it is on the game's page, over the note button, and over the note box.
On your own game's page, ask your players one question, and read their notes. Once you share a version that fixes what a note found, mark the note Fixed it. Its player sees Fixed from your note, so they come back and play it again.
