Overview:
Looking for an engaging, no-prep review game that works with any subject and keeps students excited about learning? This Ultimate Review Game is your go-to classroom activity for test prep, end-of-year review, unit wrap-ups, or anytime you want to make review fun and competitive. Originally designed to boost engagement in my own classroom, it quickly became a favorite—and now it's ready for yours!
How the Game Works:
This interactive classroom game is inspired by the classic Battleship game format. Students are grouped into teams, and each team is secretly assigned 10 ships, each loaded with hidden treasure (or digital currency, depending on the theme). Here’s how it works:
The teacher asks review questions (from any subject: ELA, math, science, history, etc.)
Teams raise hands to answer
A correct answer earns a chance to attack another team’s ship
Teams gain (or lose) points based on the treasure found
The game continues until all review questions are answered
The team with the most gold or bitcoin wins!
⭐️ Perfect for test review games, end of year activities, or any fun day
✅ Two Themed Game Modes Included:
🏴☠️ Classic Battleships (Pirate Themed) – Students hunt for gold hidden in enemy ships.
🤑 Cryptohack (Digital Bitcoin Themed) – Teams “hack” into opponents' digital accounts to steal virtual currency.
Both themes use the same flexible gameplay and can be adapted for any grade or subject content!
✅ What’s Included in This Download
Teacher instructions with step-by-step directions
Editable Battleship & Cryptohack templates
Printable score tracking sheets
Treasure cards (positive and negative point values)
All game materials – just print and play!
Ideal for grades 5–10 (but easily adaptable)
✅ Why Teachers Love This Game

Use for formative assessment, spiral review, or even just a fun Friday activity!
"I used this game with my geography classes which are 9-12 grade students. I loved it, they loved it, and we all feel that it was a great way to review. Even my most reluctant students were fully engaged. I am very impressed with this game. Thanks for your creativity Mister Harms!" - Lori ★★★★★
