Schooled! — Draw answers on a chalkboard, let the group vote

Schooled! is a quiz party game where a Game Master poses questions and you draw your answer on a virtual chalkboard. Write text, sketch a picture, or mix both. In Survival mode, wrong answers cost a life (3 lives each). In Points mode, correct answers earn points. When Community Voting is on, the majority vote determines whether an answer counts. Jokers let you skip questions, get hints, or gain other advantages. Because the Game Master can write or select their own questions, a session can be tailored to classroom review, a themed trivia night, or a casual round with friends.

Schooled! is a free online party game for 3+ players — no download, no sign-up. It runs in any browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

How to Play Schooled!

Choose your game mode — Pick Survival (3 lives, last one standing wins) or Points mode (highest score wins). The host configures timers, Jokers, and question settings. Survival raises the stakes since one wrong answer can end your game, while Points mode lets you keep playing and catch up later.
Game Master asks a question — The Game Master creates or selects questions. They can also play alongside everyone else.
Draw your answer on the chalkboard — You see the question and draw your answer on the virtual chalkboard. Write text, sketch a picture, or mix both.
Community Voting — When Community Voting is on, all players vote on whether each answer is correct. The majority vote determines the result.
Use your Jokers wisely — Each player gets Jokers: skip a question, get a hint, or gain other advantages. The host sets how many each player receives (1-5).
