The Guessarium · Classroom
History Review Game: Teacher Guide
A no-prep, no-signup, fully anonymous review game. Open guessarium.com/classroom on the projector.
Two ways to play
Review: the AI guesses
- Pick a unit below and choose Review.
- As a class, secretly agree on one event from the unit.
- Answer the AI's yes/no questions honestly (Yes · No · Don't know · Probably · Probably not).
- See if it can name your event, then discuss what gave it away.
Reverse: students investigate
- Pick a unit and choose Reverse.
- The AI hides a secret event from that unit.
- Students take turns asking yes/no questions to narrow it down.
- Name the event in as few questions as possible. Great for teaching inquiry.
Units available

Privacy: for your records
No accounts. No logins. No names, emails, or per-student tracking of any kind. The game stores only anonymous questions and answers to improve the AI. Nothing a student types is linked to them, at any age. As with any open-ended tool, a teacher should preview and facilitate; content is drawn from real historical events, some of which are mature.
