The rooms otiya gets used in

Primary teachers

Quick checks every child can join

Start or end a lesson with five questions the whole class answers at once. Read aloud and picture cues help younger readers. No devices? The class holds up printed Answer cards while you count on one phone, and you see straight away what needs another look.

Secondary teachers

Revision that shows what stuck

Turn last week’s lesson into a ten-minute retrieval quiz, set it as homework, or play the same quiz at the start and end of a topic and compare the results. Starters for today bring back the questions each class found hardest after 2 days, a week, then every three weeks.

SENCOs and inclusion leads

Support that nobody else sees

Inclusive Live lets each pupil choose the support that helps them, privately on their own device: clearer wording, picture cues, fewer choices, read aloud and more time. Scoring can reward being right rather than being fast, and there is no diagnosis anywhere.

Classrooms with few devices

One phone. A whole class.

Pupils hold up a printed card with a letter, a colour and a shape. The teacher taps a quick count on one phone, reveals the answer and sees what the class understood. Keep the quiz on the phone beforehand and the lesson works without internet; results are sent when the connection returns.

Multilingual classes

Every pupil in their own language

Pupils can see otiya’s built-in questions in French, Spanish or Portuguese on their own phone while the class plays together, with one tap to see the original. Teachers can ask otiya AI to write quizzes in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, French, Spanish, Portuguese or Swahili.

Families

Cousins in three time zones, one round

Share your screen on Zoom, Meet or Teams and the room stretches as far as the call does. Everyone answers on their own phone, the scores land in the same table, and the podium is the same podium whether you are all on one sofa or spread across three countries.

Children at home

Free learning games for ages 3 to 12

otiya Kids has thousands of checked questions across ten topics, from animals and space to maths and the human body, written for ages 6 to 8 and 9 to 12. There is no account and nothing to sign up for, and it keeps working without internet once it has been opened.

Open otiya Kids
Teams at work

Ten minutes nobody dreads

Ten minutes at the start of a meeting, hosted from whoever is sharing their screen. Remote colleagues are not watching other people have fun, they are playing the same round. No budget, no booking, no facilitator. Between meetings, start a league in Play online: share one link and every Daily challenge your colleagues play lands on your own team table.

Trainers and HR

Training people actually finish

Check understanding during onboarding, policy refreshers or a training day with a short live round. Write the questions in minutes with otiya AI, and the results show which points need going over again.

Weddings, birthdays and celebrations

How well do you really know them?

Start from a template such as How Well Do You Know the Couple or a milestone birthday, add your own questions, and let guests play on their phones while the room watches the big screen. Finish with a podium and a prize draw.

Quiz events and fundraisers

A big quiz without the clipboard

The scoring happens as people answer, so there is no marking break and no arguments about the answer sheet. When it is time for the prize, draw the winner on screen with a wheel, a reel, cards or a drum roll, in front of everyone.

Community, youth and faith groups

Something ready every week

Youth groups, faith groups, unions, alumni associations, anyone who has to fill the same slot again and again. Pick a pack or write one, and there is always something ready that does not need a rehearsal.
