Overview

www.playinterrobang.com

InterroBang is a socially-networked, problem-solving game where K-12 students complete missions in the real-world.

InterroBang players are awarded points for completed missions based on a problem-solving rubric.

Teachers can use InterroBang to extend learning from their classrooms through student-centered activities.

INTERROBANG FACTS

Some missions require students to go outside and do something!!!

“I cannot tell you how much my seniors are enjoying and engaging in this competition...Thank you so much. Typically after their AP tests are done [mid-May], it is a real struggle to keep them engaged...well, no more (that is if you will continue to offer such awesome opportunities). Please tell me you'll do this again?!”
