Make the class read each other
“What is secret commit mode?”
Turn on SECRET COMMIT in setup and, before the first roll of each round, every student privately picks how many reveals they will stay standing for. They sit down automatically when their number comes up.
The board then shows how many people picked each number, and never who picked what. That histogram is the point: it is the only moment in Class Play where one student’s choice is interesting to another one, because every other game broadcasts the same number to everybody and asks each child, alone, when to stop.
- Turn on Secret Commit in game setup. It needs live rooms — a private screen per student is what makes it secret.
- Start the round. Every standing student picks a number on their own device.
- The board fills in as they commit. You cannot roll until everyone has.
- Roll. Students drop out at their own numbers, and whoever committed deepest is the last one standing — or the first one out.
Read the histogram out loud before you roll. "Nine of you said two. Three of you said six." That sentence is the whole game — it tells the room how brave it is, and it changes what the next round feels like.
A commitment cannot be changed once made, and cannot be made after a roll. That is deliberate: a choice made after seeing a number is not a commitment, and the histogram would stop meaning anything.
Live rooms only. In single-screen mode there is nowhere private for a student to declare, so the toggle does nothing there.
