The Quiz System

During sessions quiz questions appear on screen. Answer correctly to boost your performance. Wrong answers still let you fight, but your accuracy at the end determines what loot you receive.

Quiz display during gameplay
Quiz questions appear during combat. Keep fighting while you answer. Don't stop moving!
📝 Questions come from your teacher's quiz bank.
Your teacher sets the topic: you answer, fight, and earn rewards based on how well you do.
⚠️ Minimum 7 questions required
Your accuracy is only calculated if you answer at least 7 questions in a session. Short sessions still give gold.

Game Modes

Horde

Every world has its own objective that must be completed before the session timer runs out. In Avalon Highlands, the mission is to defeat 400 undead enemies. Work with your team to hit the target. Fail the objective and the session ends without full rewards.

Completing the world objective in Horde Mode
Avalon Highlands: defeat 400 undead before time runs out to complete the world objective.
Tower Defense New in 0.1.6

Protect the windmills of Avalon Highlands from waves of undead. Enemies march straight for them, so split up, defend each windmill, and keep answering to stay strong. If every windmill falls, the match is lost.

7

The Shop

Between sessions visit the shop in the lobby to spend your gold on gear. Gold is earned every session regardless of quiz accuracy, so even if you're struggling with the questions, you're always making progress.

Buying gear in the shop with gold
Spend gold earned in sessions to buy armor and weapons from the shop. Epic cloaks are available too!
Interact with the merchant using F (or tap on iPad) to open the shop. Browse armor, weapons, and accessories, then use your gold to upgrade your hero before the next session.

Resources & Gathering

Mineral Veins are scattered around the map: Copper, Iron, Silver, and Gold Ore. Answer a quiz question correctly at a vein to mine it for crafting materials. Dispensers work the same way, but hand you an instant burst of Health, Mana, EXP, or Gold instead.

Beginner Tips

1
Equip your starter gear first. You start with free gear in your bag: press I and drag everything into the equipment slots before your first session.
2
Unsheath before combat. Press Z to draw your weapon. You can't attack with it sheathed.
3
Answer quiz questions as fast as you can. Your accuracy at the end of the session unlocks better loot. 90%+ opens the epic gear pool. That's the goal.
4
Keep moving. Standing still in Horde Mode gets you surrounded fast. Kite enemies around the arena and use your abilities to control space.
5
Mine on your way to the fight. Veins and dispensers are scattered around the map: a quick correct answer at a vein banks free materials without slowing you down.
6
Do your Daily Quest first. It's usually the fastest way to bank extra Gold and Quest Marks, and Quest Marks are what unlock new Blacksmith recipes.
7
Spend your gold between sessions. Gold carries back to the lobby: visit the merchant (F) and upgrade your gear before jumping back in.
