Info Bay
Capture the bay, one island at a time. Every raid is a real Java question on a timer: answer right and the island turns your color, miss and the fleet sails on. Forts demand hard questions, treasure pays bonus points, beacons grant an extra raid — and three correct in a row earns a free one.
Solo demo vs. three bots · the classroom version runs live with a join codeHow a live game works
This page is the single-player demo of the exact rules. The classroom mode turns it into a whole-class event.
Start a game, share the code
Pick units and difficulty from the Silver question bank — say, Units 3–4 before a quiz — and put the map on the projector.
Teams raid from their devices
Students join in teams from any phone or Chromebook. Each raid is a timed question; the map updates live for everyone.
Every answer counts after the bell
Each student’s answers are logged to Silver, so the game doubles as formative assessment — you see who owns loops and who needs ArrayList review.
Info Bay questions
What is Info Bay?
Info Bay is a live review game for computer science classes. Teams capture islands on a shared map by answering Java questions: every correct answer under the timer takes a cell, forts demand harder questions, treasure and beacon islands grant bonuses, and three correct answers in a row earn a free raid. The map fills with color as the class plays.
How does a class play Info Bay live?
The teacher starts a game and shares a join code. The map goes on the projector; students answer on their own devices in teams. This page is the solo demo of the same rules, played against three bots, so you can feel the mechanics before running it with a class.
Where do the questions come from?
From Silver’s AP Computer Science A bank, aligned to the current course framework: code tracing, loops, Strings, arrays, ArrayList, 2D arrays, objects and recursion. Teachers pick units and difficulty; every student answer is logged to their Silver practice history.
How is Info Bay different from Kahoot or Gimkit?
Two ways. The questions are real code — students read and trace Java, not just recall vocabulary. And the map adds strategy: teams choose where to expand, whether to storm a fort or steal a rival island, and when to spend a streak raid. Speed still matters, but thinking wins.
Is Info Bay free?
The demo on this page is free and runs entirely in your browser. The live classroom mode is part of Silver, which is free for teachers and students.
