JSS 1 to SS 3

Secondary quick games

Six games for secondary learners, each tied to a school subject. Like the Basic games, they are built on the phone from fixed data (elements, equations, words, historical events), work offline and use no AI. The server re-checks every answer before paying Sparks.

SS learners start in the general group and move to Science or Arts the first time they come from a science or arts lesson (or their school class says so). Once chosen, the group stays.

Levels and stars

Every game has 5 levels, one set for JSS and one for SS. Stars use the same rule as every game: ★★★ for 80%+, ★★ for 50%+, ★ otherwise. Your best stars on each level are kept.

Periodic Table Quest (Chemistry)

1. A clue appears, such as "I am in group 17 and period 3."
2. Tap the element on a real, colour-coded periodic table.
3. Right on the first tap builds a combo; a wrong tap shows that element's card so you learn from it.
4. 10 clues against one 2-minute clock for the whole game. Clues left when time runs out count as not answered.

A clue, and the colour-coded table to tap.

Start screen: three steps and the levels.

The answer card after a tap.

Results with stars.

1. Symbols · first 10	1. Find by clue · first 20
2. First 20 elements	2. Groups & periods
3. Metals, non-metals & uses	3. Trends: size, electronegativity
4. Groups 1, 2, 7 and 0	4. Fill the blank table
5. First-20 blitz	5. Full table blitz

Periodic Table Quest on a computer: the whole table fits on screen.

Formula Forge (Chemistry)

1. Read the equation, for example H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
2. Turn the numbers up and down with ▲ ▼ and watch the atom counters fill.
3. Tap Check. A wrong Check tells you which atoms don't match and gives one more try; a second wrong Check shows the answer.
4. Right on the first or second Check counts as right. 8 equations a game.

Turn the big numbers with ▲ ▼ and watch the atom counters.

Start screen: three steps and the levels.

After tapping Check.

2. Common compounds	2. Combustion
3. Bigger formulas	3. Acids & bases
4. Elements and molecules	4. Ionic equations
5. First balancing	5. Redox

Graph Sniper (Maths)

1. Read the target: a point, line or curve on a coordinate grid.
2. Drag the crosshair to the exact point (it snaps to the nearest half square), or on some shots pick the right value or equation.
3. Tap Fire. An exact hit is a bullseye (10 game points), a near hit is close (5) and anything else is a miss (0); the game draws a line to where the target was. Only a bullseye counts as a right answer for stars and Sparks.
4. 10 shots a game.

Move the crosshair, then tap Fire.

Start screen: three steps and the levels.

A miss: the game draws a line to where the target was.

Results with stars.

1. Plot a point	1. Points
2. All four quadrants	2. Straight lines
3. Lines from a table	3. Gradient & intercept
4. Read the line	4. Quadratics
5. Where two lines meet	5. Where two lines meet

Word Wheel (English)

1. Read the clue for a hidden word.
2. Swipe (or tap) letters round the wheel to spell it. Each wheel letter is used once.
3. Each word you find fills the little crossword and shows its meaning.
4. 4 words a game. After 2 minutes an I give up button appears.

Tap letters round the wheel to spell the clue’s word.

Start screen: three steps and the levels.

3. Synonyms	3. Antonyms
4. Antonyms	4. Idioms
5. Spelling challenge	5. Exam lexis

Circuit Lab (Basic Science for JSS, Physics for SS)

1. Read the target, for example "light the bulb" or a current to reach.
2. Drag parts onto the board (or tap a part, then a gap).
3. Tap Switch on. If it is wrong, the game says what happened and gives one more try.
4. 6 circuits a game. SS uses Ohm's law; JSS needs no calculations.

Put parts on the board, then tap Switch on.

Start screen: three steps and the levels.

Switching on too early: the game says what is missing.

1. Light the bulb	1. One resistor
2. Conductors and insulators	2. Series
3. Switches	3. Parallel
4. Cells in series	4. Mixed circuits
5. Bulbs in series and parallel	5. Power & energy

Timeline Drop (History)

1. Read the event on the card.
2. Drag it into the right gap on the timeline (or tap the gap).
3. A right drop snaps in with its year and why it matters. A wrong drop bounces back; a second wrong drop puts the card in place and counts as wrong.
4. 8 events a game.

Drop the event card into the right gap.

Start screen: three steps and the levels.

A right drop snaps in with its year and why it matters.

2. Colonial era	2. Independence
3. Independence and after	3. Republics
4. Our states and capital	4. Constitutions
5. World events	5. World events

Sparks

2 Sparks per right answer, inside the 60-a-day limit. The secondary games are always sent in without the speed bonus, so there is no +1 for quick answers here (the Periodic Table Quest clock is part of the game, not a Sparks bonus). See also stars and leagues.
