Important Things to Remember

Complete the activity in one sitting! Quick Play sessions are temporary. If you close the browser before submitting, you might lose your work.
Enter your real name. Your teacher uses your name to track your work. Using a fake name or nickname means your teacher won’t know you completed the activity!

​
Using Quick Play on Different Devices

​
On a Computer or Chromebook

  1. Click the link your teacher shared
  2. Enter your name in the boxes
  3. Click Start
  4. Complete and submit when done

​
On a Phone or Tablet

  2. Enter your name
  3. Tap Start
  4. Work through the activity using touch
  5. Tap Submit when finished
If the activity looks too small on your phone, try turning it sideways (landscape mode) for a bigger view!

​
Shared Devices (Computer Labs)

If you’re using Quick Play on a shared computer (like in a computer lab or library):
1

Check for Previous Sessions

If someone else was using the computer, their name might still be showing. Make sure to enter YOUR name instead.
2

Complete Your Work

Finish the entire activity before leaving your seat.
3

Submit Before Leaving

Always click Submit before you get up. Don’t leave your work unsubmitted!
4

Save Your Review Link

Write down or screenshot your review link if you want to see your results later.

​
Troubleshooting

Try:
  • Moving closer to or further from the code
  • Making sure there’s enough light
  • Cleaning your camera lens
  • Using a QR scanner app instead of the regular camera
  • Asking your teacher for the link instead
Unfortunately, Quick Play sessions don’t save across browser closes. You’ll need to:
  1. Start the activity again from the beginning
  2. Enter your name again
  3. Redo your work
Next time, make sure to finish and submit before closing!
Once you submit, you can’t change the name. Be careful to type your name correctly at the beginning. If it’s wrong, let your teacher know so they can identify your work.
  • Check your internet connection
  • Try refreshing the page
  • Close other browser tabs
  • Ask your teacher if others are having the same problem
