Categorise

Categorise is the drag-and-drop quiz slide for anything that fits into groups: periodic table elements, historical eras, mammal vs reptile, verb vs noun. Audiences sort items into the correct buckets on their phone; the leaderboard scores speed and accuracy live on the big screen. It turns memorising taxonomies into a game people actually want to play.

How Categorise works

Categorise is a single scored slide. Build once, replay across every class or cohort:

1. Define your categories and add the items that belong to each one.
2. Set a time limit and launch the slide; the join code appears on the presenter view.
3. Audiences drag each item into the correct category from their phone.
4. The leaderboard reveals the winners, scored on how many were correctly sorted and how fast.

Best for

Categorise fits any subject where the learning objective is "know what belongs where":

• Teachers: biology classification, grammar parts of speech, and historical era sorting.
• Corporate trainers: product-line SKU quizzes, compliance category checks, sales objection sorting.
• Event hosts: themed trivia rounds where categories are the game (movies by decade, songs by genre).
• Onboarding leads: new hire quizzes on team ownership, tool categories, and process phases.

Why teams love Categorise

Categorise beats a standard multiple choice for one specific reason. The drag interaction reveals the mental model:

• Tests deeper understanding: sorting requires knowing why something belongs, not just recognising an answer.
• Visual results: the presenter view shows exactly which items got miscategorised the most.
• Reusable across cohorts: the same slide works for the next class without rebuilding.
• Scored on speed AND accuracy: the leaderboard adds the pressure that keeps quiz momentum up.

Free to build, live to play, and the most fun way to drill any "know your groups" learning goal.
