How Atenu Live works
Live multiplayer quizzes for Ethiopian high-school students.
For hosts (teachers)▸
- Sign in for free with Google.
- Create a quiz by typing questions, pasting them in, or letting the AI generate them for you.
- Share the 6-digit PIN with your class — on the board, projector, or chat group.
- Click Start when everyone has joined.
For players (students)▸
- Open live.atenu.org on any phone or computer.
- Type the PIN your teacher gave you.
- Pick a nickname — no account needed.
- Answer fast and correctly to earn the most points.
Scoring▸
Each question is worth up to 1,000 points. Correct answers earn points; faster answers earn more. A correct answer at the very last second still scores at least 500 points, so a slow connection won't wipe out your score. A wrong or missed answer scores zero.
Get several correct answers in a row to build a streak bonus: +100 for two in a row, +200 for three, up to +500 at six. The first player to submit a correct answer on each question earns an extra +100. The final leaderboard ranks everyone by total points; ties share the same rank.
Built for phones▸
Atenu Live is built mobile-first for 3G and 4G phones. On slow connections, question images are hidden automatically so the quiz stays fast. It works on any device with a modern browser — no app to install.
About Atenu▸
Atenu Live is part of Atenu.org, free study tools for Ethiopian high-school students preparing for the ESSLCE (Ethiopian Secondary School Leaving Certificate Examination).
Frequently asked questions▸
- Do I need an account to play?
- No. Just open live.atenu.org, type the game PIN, and pick a nickname.
- Do I need an account to host?
- Yes — hosts sign in for free with Google. This lets you save your quizzes and reconnect if your browser closes mid-game.
- Is Atenu Live free?
- Yes. Atenu Live is completely free to play and host.
- How long does a quiz take?
- About 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how many questions you set up and how much time you give per question.
- How many players can join one game?
- Atenu Live is calibrated for a full classroom — around 200 students on one school network works smoothly.
- Can students cheat by looking at their neighbour’s screen?
- Turn on "Shuffle answer order per player" in quiz settings. Each player then sees the four answers in a different random order, so peeking at the colour or letter on a nearby phone gives the wrong answer.
