Night Market
Each question is one lantern to light. The question sits on the board above a string of paper lanterns, and every answer is written on a lantern. Students pick the lantern with the right answer, and Wisp sends a beam of light to make it glow.
How to play Night Market
- Press Play and read the question on the board.
- Read the answers on the lanterns.
- Pick the right lantern: click or tap it, press 1 to 4 or A to D, or T and F on a true or false question.
Right and wrong answers
One pick per question, and it counts. A right pick and the lantern blazes with light while Wisp twirls. A wrong pick and the lantern flickers out, and the right lantern lights up so students see the answer before the next question. The clock pauses between questions.

Night Market: questions teachers ask
Can students play without a mouse?
Yes. They can press 1 to 4, A to D, T and F, or move the arrow with Left and Right and press Enter or Space.
What happens on a wrong pick?
The lantern flickers out and Wisp droops, then the right lantern blazes with light, so the answer is always shown.
