The Academy flagship event

The CLASS Challenge.
16 days, 4 leagues, a class that bonds.

Each student's points add up to the collective class score. Your students play independently in the PLAY app, you watch the class climb.

The mechanics · 16 days · 4 acts

The challenge plays out in four stages.

Students play. Points climb. The class rises, or falls. Everything is triggered in the app, with nothing to prepare.

Act 01Days 1 → 2

The calibration.

Each class plays for its best score. No ranking yet: we set the dynamic, test the rounds, identify the leaders.

Open phase

Act 02Day 3

The league split.

Classes are placed in one of the four leagues, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Titanium, based on their calibration score. Everyone has a chance to move up.

4 divisions

Act 03Days 4 → 15

Daily mobility.

Each day, classes can move up or down a league. Latecomers catch up, leaders have to defend. Consistency matters more than the peak.

Daily movement

Act 04Day 16

The verdict.

Final position locked in. Every participating class is rewarded: medals, trophies for Titanium, escape kits to round off the year.
