Every competitive element in a FlashEDU game has a switch. Here is each one.

In Class Quiz, the default format, the fastest correct answers climb the board, and a wrong answer earns nothing however fast it was. The teacher can switch on relaxed timing and fair mode so a round is paced for accuracy rather than speed. Mastery Sprint is scored on problems mastered, and Expedition Crew has no rankings at all.

• Six formats: Class Quiz, Gold Rush, Power-Up Quiz, Board Race, Mastery Sprint, and Expedition Crew.
• Difficulty is adaptive by default, so a student who is behind is not fed the same problems as a student who is ahead.
• Each student’s result is stored as score, correct answers, and best streak. No class-wide rank goes into the permanent record.

Before any game, the teacher can tick Hide leaderboard from students, and each student then sees only their own score. A second switch, anonymous fun names, replaces student names on every shared screen with an alias while the teacher’s report keeps the real name. A district can turn leaderboards off for every classroom in one setting, and a teacher cannot override it.

• Hidden leaderboard: available in every live format.
• Anonymous names: available in every live format.
• District leaderboard switch: forces the board hidden across the district.

Crews of two to four students, matched by join order, work through problems together. Progress is a crew goal, there are no public rankings, and the format is a plain alternative for a room, or a day, that does not need a contest. A teacher can also skip live games entirely and use assignments or individual practice, both of which are private between the student and the teacher.

Separate from the games a teacher hosts, students can challenge each other directly. That is the Class games setting. For managed school accounts it is off at the district level by default, along with chat and friends, and a teacher cannot turn it on from a classroom. If the district opens it, a school or a teacher can still close it for their students, because the most restrictive setting always wins.
