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 built for a different job. While Kahoot is great for general engagement, LRNRS is a specialized tool for formative assessment and remediation. Our key difference is the **Remediation Loop**: after a battle, you get instant stats on weak topics. From there, you can use our AI to generate a targeted follow-up battle in one click. This workflow, combined with an AI that truly understands math (unlike text-based AIs on other platforms), allows instructors to quickly diagnose and fix learning gaps.

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, this is our primary focus. After each battle, you get an email with detailed stats on student and question performance. This allows you to instantly identify learning gaps. More importantly, you can use these insights to launch a targeted remediation battle, closing the loop on formative assessment.

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, this is our core strength. Competitor AIs are text-based and struggle with math. Ours is built on a symbolic math engine (a Computer Algebra System). This means it can generate and validate legitimate, university-level quantitative problems for physics, calculus, and engineering. It doesn't just guess answers; it solves the math, enabling it to create plausible distractors based on common errors and provide accurate, step-by-step solutions.

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.

How is this different from quiz tools for corporate training?

While corporate tools are great for events, LRNRS is built specifically for education. Our key differences are our **zero-friction setup** (no accounts needed to start), our focus on the **remediation loop** (turning insights into follow-up practice), and our **symbolic math engine** that generates true university-level technical questions, not just trivia.

What's next for LRNRS Battles?

We're leveraging our unique symbolic math engine to build question types that assess deep understanding, not just recall. Our roadmap includes features competitors can't replicate in a live, gamified format: 1. **Interactive Graphing:** Questions where students answer by clicking or dragging points on a live plot. 2. **AI-Validated 'Show Your Work':** Multi-step problems where our AI provides real-time feedback on each step of a student's solution. 3. **Equation Builder:** A drag-and-drop interface for constructing formulas, which our engine validates for mathematical equivalence.
