Boss Battle
Each question is one turn against the dragon king. The answers are spell cards, and a right card lands a hit. After the last turn, a score of 60% or more wins with a Final Strike; below that the hero retreats.
How to play Boss Battle
- Press Play to face the dragon king.
- Read the question and pick the spell card with the right answer: click it, or press 1 to 4, A to D, or T and F.
- Keep answering until every question has been asked.
- Score 60% or more and the Final Strike defeats the boss.
Right and wrong answers
A right card lands a hit. A wrong one lets the boss strike back and costs a heart; three misses knock the hero down, a potion refills the hearts, and the battle carries on so every question is asked.

Boss Battle: questions teachers ask
Can students lose before the end?
No. Three misses knock the hero down, but a potion refills the hearts and every question is still asked. The result is decided at the end.
What score wins?
60% or more. The Final Strike empties the boss's health bar and the dragon king flops over.
How long can questions be?
Up to 100 characters per question and 30 per answer, the most room of any of the games.
