Can I use it without collecting any pupil data?
Yes, and that is the normal mode. Pupils have no account: they appear under a nickname and an avatar chosen on the spot. You can even create the teams yourself so that no pupil touches a device at all — the screen and the score pad are enough.
Does anything need to be installed on school machines?
No. The board is a web page opened in a browser, so there is no software to install, no extension to approve and no admin rights to request. Pupils who join from their own device install nothing either — they scan a QR code and land in their browser.
Do pupils need phones?
No. The simplest classroom setup is the one where only you handle the tool: you create the teams and award the points, pupils watch the projected board. Their phones only matter if you want them to track an individual rank.
How does this compare with ClassDojo or Kahoot?
Scorofun does one thing: count points and show them large. There is no question bank, no messaging with families, no long-term behaviour record for a child. It is a narrower tool, and that is exactly why it does not need a profile per pupil.
What is stored, and for how long?
Nicknames and scores for the game, attached to your teacher account. Photos, if you allowed them outside a school context, are deleted thirty days after the game ends. The detail is on our privacy page, and you can ask for your account and games to be deleted at any time.
Does it work with the projector in my room?
Yes, as soon as the machine driving it can open a web page. It is an address typed into a browser: no extension to install and no admin rights to request from whoever manages the estate.
What if the school network is unreliable?
Points entered during an outage are kept on your device and sent when the connection returns. The projected board keeps the last standings it received rather than showing an error in front of the class.
