SELECT YOUR GAME
Sudden death or 10 rounds
Real UK and world data: inflation since 1950, unemployment, Bank Rate, GDP, GDP per head and population. Is the next figure higher or lower? Every reveal comes with the story behind the number.
BINGO
5–15 mins
Definitions read aloud one by one — match them to the key term on your card and race to a full house. Works brilliantly as a starter or plenary.
REVEAL
Timed
A diagram is uncovered piece by piece — name it before it's fully shown. Tests recognition speed across all 121 A-Level diagrams.
WORDLE
6 guesses
Guess the hidden economics term in 6 tries. Green = right letter, right place. Amber = right letter, wrong place. Definition revealed after every round.
CROSSWORD
New grid every time
Pick a topic and level and a fresh grid is built from a bank of spec key terms. Solve it in the browser or print a clean newspaper-style puzzle.
SEARCH
New grid every time
A fresh 15×15 grid on your chosen topic. GCSE puzzles read forwards; A-Level hides words in all 8 directions. Print as a ready-to-use worksheet.
FALSE?
Solo or whiteboard
Rapid-fire evaluative statements — always true, never true, or does it depend? Solo mode is timed with instant feedback. Whiteboard mode is teacher-paced for class discussion.
AM I?
5 clues
Five clues, hardest first — buzz in as early as you can for max points. Covers classical, Keynesian, monetarist, behavioural and development economists.
ANAGRAMS
Hint-based
The letters are scrambled — work out the term before you run out of hints. Multi-word terms scramble word by word, with a definition and letter-count hint on standby.
NECTIONS
4 mistakes allowed
16 economics terms, four hidden groups of four. Yellow's easiest, purple will trick you — some words are designed to fool you into the wrong group.
