Baamboozle game app

 https://www.baamboozle.com/

An app for creating quiz competitions (2 or more teams). The free plan allows for creating questions with short answers only (e.g. What is the capital of France?). It looks like if it is played as a team game, it has to be teacher-led, i.e., the teacher will actually conduct the competition in front of the whole class, as opposed to students taking part in a live competition in teams/groups using their iPads (e.g., Quizlet Live). The teacher will invite a member of a team, or the whole team, to choose a question on the screen (or the teacher can name a question) and answer it, and award marks if it is answered correctly. 

I have tried the '1 team' option. In that case, it becomes a self-study resource, and when students are ready, they 'play' it to test themselves. But then, this use is similar to that of Quizlet.
