Free Battles FAQ

Everything you need to know about LRNRS Free Battles - the free Kahoot alternative for classrooms.

Ready to try it?

Launch your first battle in 60 seconds. No sign-up required.

Is LRNRS Free Battles really free?

Yes! Free Battles are completely free forever. No hidden costs, no paid tiers required. You can create unlimited battles with 1-4 questions each. No credit card needed, no trial period - just free.

How is LRNRS different from Kahoot?

LRNRS is faster (60-second setup vs several minutes), completely free (Kahoot charges $19/month for basic features), requires no sign-up for teachers or students, and has AI that generates better technical questions with proper calculations and LaTeX support. Our AI creates quantitative problems, not just definitions.

Do students need accounts to join?

No - students just enter a join code and their name (or nickname). No email, no password, no account required. This is privacy-first design that protects student data.

Do I need an account as a teacher?

You only need to provide an email address to receive battle results. No password, no sign-up process. We email you a setup link so you can re-run the same battle later if needed.

Can I use LRNRS for formative assessment?

Yes! After each battle, you receive an email with student rankings, question-by-question accuracy stats, and which questions students found most difficult. Perfect for identifying gaps in understanding and adjusting your teaching.

How many students can join a Free Battle?

Free Battles support unlimited participants. Whether you have 5 students or 500, they can all join and compete in real-time.

What types of questions can I create?

Multiple choice questions with 2-4 answer options. You can include images, videos, and LaTeX equations. Questions can be typed manually or generated by AI from a topic or PDF upload.

Does the AI really work for technical subjects?

Yes! Our AI generates proper quantitative problems for physics, chemistry, engineering, and math. It creates plausible wrong answers based on common mistakes, shows full solution paths, and renders equations in LaTeX. Unlike other quiz tools that only generate surface-level recall questions.

How long does it take to set up a battle?

60 seconds or less. Click 'Start Free Battle,' add your email, create 1-4 questions (or let AI generate them), get your join code, and you're ready. Students join by entering the code - no app downloads or accounts needed.

What happens to student data?

Students can use nicknames (no requirement for real names). All battle data auto-deletes after 90 days. We don't sell data, don't track students across sites, and don't require personal information.

Can I re-use a battle?

Yes! After you create a battle, you receive an email with a setup link. Use that link to launch the same questions again for a different class or review session.

What's the difference between Free Battles and Pro Battles?

Free Battles (1-4 questions, perfect for quick review) are completely free forever. Pro Battles (5+ questions, advanced analytics, team modes, LMS integration) require a LRNRS subscription starting at $14.99/month for students or $24.99/month for instructors.

Do students see the questions on their own devices?

Yes! Unlike some quiz games where students only see answer choices, LRNRS shows the full question and all answer options on each student's device. This makes it easier to read and eliminates the need for a projector.

How does scoring work?

Students earn 1000 base points for correct answers, plus up to 500 bonus points for speed. Faster correct answers earn more points. The leaderboard updates in real-time so students can see their rank as they play.

Can I adjust question time limits?

Yes! Each question can have its own time limit (5-120 seconds). The default is 30 seconds, but you can make questions shorter for quick recall or longer for complex problems.

What if students join late?

Students who join after the battle starts can participate in remaining questions. They won't get points for questions they missed, but they can still compete for the rest of the battle.

Is there a mobile app?

No app needed! LRNRS works in any web browser on phones, tablets, and computers. Just go to lrnrs.ai/battle and everything works instantly.

Can I upload my own images or videos?

Yes! You can add images and videos to your questions. This is great for visual subjects like anatomy, geography, art history, or showing diagrams in math and science.
