The host's live session screen with four teams on a checkpoint matrix, live standings, and a photo waiting for review.

Realm is in open beta. Your first game is free, with up to 30 players per session.

One session, start to finish

Tuesday, 9:40 am. 30 ninth-graders. One code.

Here is what one real-world game looks like, from the night before to the results on the bus home.

  1. The Build River Keepers game builder showing six missions and a publishing warning about two missing locations.

    Sun 9:12 pm

    Maya writes six missions from her lesson notes

    The night before, kitchen table

    She pastes the unit outline, keeps four of the drafted missions, rewrites two, and drops pins along the river path. The readiness check flags one task outside the play area.

  2. The projector screen players see when they walk in

    1. Join solo or pick your team
    2. Allow location access when your phone asks
    3. Keep your screen unlocked while you are outside

    9:40 am

    She reads one code out loud

    Room 214, projector on

    No accounts, no app. 30 phones type eight characters and names start appearing on the wall, sorted into four teams she set up on the bus.

  3. A player's phone waiting for the host to start the Riverside Quest session.

    9:44 am

    Players pick a name and wait for the host

    Waiting by the door

    The lobby tells each player they are in and where to look for their name. Spanish speakers switch language from the same screen. Maya hits start when the last coat is on.

  4. A player's phone during River Quest showing a map, the current score, elapsed time, and nearby places.

    10:05 am

    Team Heron argues about sediment

    Under the Steel Bridge

    The map shows the next checkpoint 140 metres away. The sheet shows what to prove when they get there. A short answer is graded the moment it lands; a photo waits for Maya.

  5. The host's live session screen showing four teams moving through a six-mission progress matrix.

    10:31 am

    Maya approves a photo and adds five minutes

    A bench, a coffee

    Every device is online, every team is on the matrix. A sea-wall photo needs a look; she taps approve. Charlie is behind, so she extends the clock from her phone.

  6. A player's phone showing a completed Source to Sea session for Civic Systems Studio above a group illustration.

    11:38 am

    Everyone sees their run before lunch

    Back on the bus

    Standings, missions, and each player's own answers, saved to their run. Maya opens the same session on Wednesday to grade the two written reflections and export the lot.
