App
BetaAxe & Answer
A learning app using axe throwing as a feedback mechanism for answering questions scaffolded for all ages.
Working, with early users. Ask for access.
The problem
Quizzes and knowledge checks are the part of training everyone rushes through. Feedback lands as a score, not a feeling, so it doesn't stick.
Who it's for
- Trainers and facilitators
- Associations
- Corporate L&D
What it does
- Answer questions by throwing an axe — accuracy and streaks make the feedback physical
- Question sets you author for your own content
- Built for live sessions and self-paced practice
Axe & Answer turns a knowledge check into a game you actually want to replay. Each question is a throw: the closer you land, the clearer the feedback, and a run of good answers builds a streak worth protecting.
It grew out of the same engagement-by-design practice behind our gamification work. The mechanic is simple on purpose. What matters is that learners get feedback they can feel, immediately, and come back for another round.
More information is forthcoming as the app launches.
