Baamboozle is a bit different from the other game apps, like Kahoot and Quizizz.
While Kahoot, Quizizz, Wordwall, Learningapps.org, etc. are mainly for students taking part as individuals, Baamboozle is better played as a team game: The teacher puts the students into teams (groups), and asks the groups to take turns to respond to the questions.
This also means that Baamboozle is primarily for teacher-paced games. Students do not join from their devices and with a Join Code. Instead, they simply follow the teacher's pace.
This might look traditional, but it also gives the teacher more opportunities to interact with the students during the game, give feedback, or discuss things with the students.
Another feature is its potential for self-regulated learning. The teacher can give students the Share Link. Students then work through the questions on their own: They look at each question, think about the answer, and then click 'check'. If they get an answer correct, the question card will disappear. If they get it wrong, it will stay there, and will reappear later for the students to re-try.
The platform has a bank of teacher-made games which can be used immediately, without signing in!
