How it works

A classroom game for
student voice

01 ↗

Pick a topic — we give you 10

Choose from ready-made templates or write your own. From after-school habits to classroom vibes — each one unlocks a different conversation.

02 ↗

Students answer anonymously on any device

No accounts, no downloads. They join with a code, pick a nickname, and answer.

03 ↗

The class competes on who knows the class best

Everyone guesses how the class answered. The gap between what you assume and what's real — that's where the connection happens.

The only question left is what you'll ask first.

Start a free round → Bring it to your school
Every round unlocks a new data story for your class

Anonymous answers become connection points.

What they eat after school, how they rank their world, how they experience your room — every answer reveals something a grade book never could.

From teachers who tried it

Five teachers. Five routines.

Every teacher uses Guess2KnowU a little differently. Here's how five of them made it their own.

"

By the time the lesson starts, I already know how my kids are doing today. That changes everything.

TC
Ms. Thompson
7th grade homeroom · Columbus, OH
🏠
The routine
I run a round every morning during homeroom. Five minutes before the day begins.
✨
What changed
My quietest students are now the first to volunteer guesses.
"

I teach kids whose lives look nothing like mine. This game gives me a way in without making it awkward.

DW
Mr. Washington
7th grade ELA · Brooklyn, NY
🌍
The routine
I use it to build rapport with my students — especially the ones I don't share the same background or experiences with.
🤝
What changed
My students started opening up about things I never would have thought to ask about.
"

Two kids who never talked found out they like the same music. Now they're sitting together at lunch.

MR
Ms. Ramirez
7th grade · San Antonio, TX
👥
The routine
I play a round every Friday so my students can get to know each other.
💛
What changed
My class has a different energy now. They know each other. It feels like a community.
"

We were reading The Outsiders. I asked which character they saw themselves in. The answers told me more about my students than any essay ever did.

JM
Mr. Mitchell
8th grade English · Atlanta, GA
📚
The routine
I build prompts around whatever we're reading. The book becomes the lens — the game reveals my students.
🔥
What changed
My class discussions went from three kids talking to the whole room weighing in.
"

They walk in half-asleep. One round later, everybody's locked in. It's my bell ringer now.

LP
Ms. Park
9th grade science · Minneapolis, MN
🔔
The routine
I use it as a bell ringer in the first few minutes to check in with my students and get everyone situated before the lesson.
⚡
What changed
The first 10 minutes used to be chaos. Now it's the most focused part of the period.

"Three rounds in, two kids who don't normally talk to each other realized they pick the same music."

Maya R.
7th grade · NY
