The wildest cooperative vocabulary game in the West! Round up words with your team and race to victory.
Sign up with your email and school information to become a Sheriff. You'll get access to the Teacher Dashboard where you can manage all your games.
Go to the Question Bank to create vocabulary sets. You can:
Select a question set and click "Start Roundup". Choose your game settings like number of teams and time limits.
You'll get a 6-character code (like ABC123). Share this with your students so they can join!
Watch the live leaderboard as teams compete! You can see real-time progress, end games early, or export results when finished.
Print this out or show it on a projector before the game!
Work with your posse to answer all questions correctly and win the trail showdown.
Four players sit in a plus (+) shape:
North, South, East, West – all facing inward.
The player who the group thinks is correct clicks their answer.
✅ If it's RIGHT:
Your posse moves one step forward on the trail and the next question appears.
❌ If it's WRONG:
Your posse is pushed back (or the trail resets, depending on the game mode).
+1 point / step for each correct answer.
The posse that reaches the finish line first wins the showdown!
No silent clicking. You must talk so the whole group understands the answer.
Help your partners – the goal is to survive the trail together.
Be respectful. No putting down teammates for a wrong answer.
Talk to your teammates! Describe what you see without saying the exact word. "I have something about a type of government..."
When describing definitions, give unique details that help narrow it down. Generic descriptions slow you down!
Have some teammates focus on reading terms while others listen for matching definitions. Teamwork makes the dream work!
It's a race! Once you find a match, submit it quickly and move on. Every second counts in the Wild West!
While waiting for your teammates or between rounds, enjoy our flappy bird game! 🐦
No! Students just need the game code. They get anonymous Wild West aliases to protect their privacy.

Absolutely! You can create custom question sets, import from CSV, or use our AI to generate sets from any topic.
No problem! Students can rejoin using the same game code. Their progress is saved and they'll return to their team.
