Host's screen (classroom game on the web)
The host's screen will display a chest and the score.
- By completing the levels, players earn coins and gems. They are able to send them to the treasure chest every 3 levels.
- Each coin and gem has a specific value that depends on the number of players and type of gem.
- As more students complete the levels, the chances for players to collect more valuable gems increase.
- The chest has 6 evolutions in total. It is okay for students to not complete all 6 levels at the end of the session. They can use this opportunity to play it again and improve on their weaker areas.
