MINIMAL EQUIPMENT, MAXIMUM ENGAGEMENT
Most activities need nothing more than the room you're already in - classroom, gym, hall or outdoors. Use it to break up a lesson, build confidence and unity in a new class, or fill the last twenty minutes of the day when your planned activity finishes early.

### 5/5 — A must for teachers!

*2026-07-30*

This is such an incredible resource. I use it in the classroom everyday to help engage and connect my students. They love it!

### 3/5 — Great app - but…..

*2026-07-19*

Definitely a great app with great content. I purchased this years ago and used it frequently. Unfortunately, as time’s gone by, more and more content has been placed behind a paywall on a subscription model. Definitely a shame.

### 5/5 — Some of your Apps need updating

*2021-09-13*

I really like your apps and used them regularly in my casual relief teaching. But some of the apps that I paid for are no longer working and need updating to run on the current OS: QuizzBreak and TeacherShake. Will you be updating them?

### 2/5 — Poor presentation

*2017-08-23*

No matter what I tried I could not get the instructions to fit on The screen of my iPad Mini. The instructions were way too wordy without bullet points which I was hoping I could use as a visual instruction besides just explaining to students what to do. Format was very boring and I couldn't figure out how to ask for help from the developer from my screen issue

### 5/5 — Class break

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-08-19*

Was babysitting the other day and went into this app to get some ideas, the kids had a great time doing the activities, and they loved the jokes.

### 5/5 — Huge resource

*2014-08-18*

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 8.10.0 — 2026-08-24

QUIZ POWER-UPS - NEW

Turn on Quiz Power-ups in Greedy Pig, Target 21, Skull & Roses, Treasure Rush or Streak Builder, and the game gains a rescue.

When a round is lost - the rolled 1, the jammed vault, the second skull - the class gets one question on the board. Answer it right and the moment is taken back: the roll comes back, the vault reopens, the skull does not count. Wrong or out of time, and it stands. Once per round.

Every question shows the correct answer at the reveal, win or lose, so no question is wasted. Choose a starter pack to suit your class: Foundation to Year 2, Years 3-6, or Years 7-12.

ALSO IN THIS UPDATE

Junior games now open with a picture-first how-to: three steps, almost no reading, for classes who cannot read a rules screen off a projector.

The usual polish and stability work.

### 8.9.0 — 2026-08-22

Class Play just got its biggest update ever.

• GO LIVE from your phone or iPad: students join at classbreak.app/join on their own devices, your screen is the board. AirPlay it and it's the projector.
• Every game now shows exactly what you rolled — the score is the die again.
• Three games rebuilt to feel genuinely different: a pursuit, a pairing kitchen, and a relay where finished legs are safe forever.
• Target 21 is now The Vault: turn the dial to exactly 21, one past and it jams.
• The game screen finally fills an iPad.
• Interrupted mid-game? ClassBreak now picks up where you stopped — a crash costs a round, never the lesson.
• Optional game sounds: a pop per reveal, a chime on banking, a proper thud on the bust.
• Fairer balance across all 27 games, matched exactly with the website.

### 8.8.0 — 2026-08-20

NEW: Team Picker - fair teams in seconds, right from the home screen.

• Set keep-apart and keep-together rules that are never broken, if your rules can't all hold, we explain exactly why and suggest a fix
• Fresh-pairings mode remembers who's worked together and steers new teams toward classmates who haven't met yet
• Reveal teams on the projector with a countdown, team-by-team animations and confetti
• Spotlight: pick a random student with a big-screen flourish
• Tournament mode: round-robin fixtures with live standings, or knockout brackets
• Station rotation with a built-in countdown timer
• Your roster stays on your device never uploaded, ever

Plus stability improvements and bug fixes throughout.

### 8.7.1 — 2026-08-19

New: Lifetime access! Prefer to skip subscriptions? Pay once and unlock everything in ClassBreak Pro forever - find it on the new Lifetime tab.

Plus small improvements and bug fixes.

### 8.7.0 — 2026-08-14

This update makes ClassBreak Studio even more playful:

• NEW - Adventure Decks. Ask Studio for a deck on any topic ("our volcano unit", "school values week") and get a full playable card deck for the Adventure board game play, gratitude, giving and chance cards, each with timing and a seated option so every student can join in.
• Export any deck as a print-ready PDF, or copy it as text to share.
• Your Studio Library now syncs perfectly between the website and your iPhone everything you create shows up on both.
• Behind the scenes: everything Studio makes is now quality-checked before you see it, so games, lessons, worksheets and notes home arrive classroom-ready.
• Small fixes and polish throughout.
