Create a Game with a Study Set or Question Set
Use a Study Set for terms and definitions, or a Question Set for questions with answer choices. Choose the right set for your lesson.
Set up the game
- Open Manage Sets in Deck Builder. Create or import a Study Set or Question Set and check its answers.
- Add a game activity to the map. Choose from Arcade or Classics, then select your set. The game picker shows which games accept that set.
- Preview the game. Check the questions, images and controls before assigning the deck.

Choose how students play
Arcade Games offer active play powered by questions. Classic Games offer familiar quiz, matching and word activities. Each guide explains its supported play modes.
For a deck lesson, connect the activity to a Learning Path. In Advanced Settings, you can add start and end messages, require all answers to be correct, or turn off Challenges. Select only the set items you want students to practise.
Let Mystery Game choose
Mystery Game draws a compatible game at random for your Study Set or Question Set. For teacher-led play:
- Select Mystery Game and your Set. In Configure, choose a Game pool: Recommended, Arcade only, Classics only or All compatible games. In Deck Builder, Custom selection lets you tick individual games.
- Select Reveal a game. Use Draw again to draw another game, or Open [game] to open the revealed game's normal teacher view with the same Set.
- If there are no compatible games, use Configure to change the pool or Set.
In Single Player, students reveal their own game. Student Challenges draw separately from compatible Challenge games, with the same game for both players. They do not reuse the teacher's reveal. Mystery Game does not appear in Solo Arcade; use the revealed game's guide for its play modes and controls.
