Ramp run
Each question is one ramp. The answers are wooden funboxes, each with its answer sign. The student picks a ramp, the skater rolls over and climbs it, and a right answer grinds the rail and lands a trick that gets bigger with every right answer in a row.
How to play Ramp run
- Press Play and the first set of ramps rolls in.
- Read the question and tap the ramp with the right answer, or press 1 to 4, A to D, or T and F. Arrows and Enter work too.
- Keep a streak going for bigger tricks.
Right and wrong answers
A right answer lands a trick and builds the combo. A wrong one stops the board dead, the skater tumbles and sits up dizzy, and the right ramp lights up. The clock pauses from the pick until the next ramp is ready, so the ride never eats thinking time.
