Taco Trivia
A team quiz board for the projector. The teacher runs the board and keeps the score; the students answer out loud, with no devices and no logins.
Counted on 7 October 2026 from the live site.
One board, one operator
There is no student app at all. The teacher is the only person who touches the game, which is what lets a class start in seconds.
- Scoring is the teacher's: plus and minus buttons, or type an exact score.
- Three answer styles to suit the class: Fast & Loud, Take Turns and Quiet Mode.
- An optional question timer from 1 to 600 seconds, with a short beep made in the browser.
- Special cards look like any other tile until opened; the teacher applies the effect, such as switching or stealing points.
- A game in progress survives a page reload.
How it is built, and what it lacks
Games are built in an admin grid editor: categories, point values, questions, and images stored with the game. Free games are readable by anyone; a premium game is sent only after the Class Cookies platform confirms the teacher has subscribed.
Moving the server to Seoul in September cut the games list's response from about a second to about a third of a second, by the project's own before-and-after notes. Measured on 7 October, the setup page scored 100 for Lighthouse Performance on desktop and 95 on mobile; the home page, which loads a cover image for every game, 96 and 82.
Honest gaps
- No automated test suite. Changes are checked with scripted browser runs and before-and-after screenshots, not unit tests.
- Lint has no errors (two warnings), and the production build of the current version passed on Vercel.
- The screens on this page use Happy Shuffle Kids, a free pack with text-only questions.
62 commits on the production branch, 60 of them with a Claude co-author line. The project was scaffolded in March 2026; the real build began on 15 July 2026.
