Yes or No: what it is and how to make one
We are committed to continuously improving your experience; some elements of the video interface may not match the current one.
What it is
In Yes or No, players answer a series of cards by clicking the “Yes” or “No” buttons, or by dragging each card to the matching side.
Each card can contain text, an image, audio or video, and can be accompanied by a prompt.
Examples of use
- Science: true and false statements about natural phenomena.
- Languages: grammatically correct and incorrect sentences.
- History: deciding whether a series of historical facts happened or not.
- Primary education: quick classification (“Is it a vertebrate?”).
- Vocational training: cards about regulations, protocols or procedures.
- Health and wellbeing: myths and facts about diet, exercise or habits.
How to create a Yes or No with Ray
- Click Create game and select Yes or No.
- Enter a topic, add instructions and/or attach a file with the content.
- Ray automatically generates a game ready to publish (with a title and description). You can review and change anything you like before publishing it.
Ray's advanced options
The gear icon gives you options to configure how Ray generates the game. Some are common to all game types:
- Output content: choose text only, or text plus automatically generated speech. Speech is capped at 1,000 characters in total per account on the Basic and Advanced plans; on the Academic plan and Commercial plan it is unlimited.
- Output language: the language of the game content. If you don't specify it, Ray detects it from the prompt or the file.
- Difficulty: easy, medium (default), hard, or a custom level (for example, “for primary school students”).
Yes or No also has a specific option:
- Cards: how many to create (10 by default), or as many as the content you attach contains.
Source library
With the Sources button you can upload files to Ray (PDF, Word, images…) or select your own games for it to use as content for the new one. For example, generate a review Yes or No from the PDF of a teaching unit, or create a Yes or No with the questions from a Froggy Jumps.
How to create a Yes or No without Ray
- Click Create game and select Yes or No.
- Close the Ray window.
- Enter each card and its correct answer. By default the correct one is “Yes”; click it to change it to “No” or “Both”.
Cards can have text, images and/or audio, and you can accompany them with a prompt.
Game options
- Lives: the maximum number of mistakes (unlimited by default).
- Time: the time limit per card (unlimited by default).
- Shuffle cards: cards in random order.
With an Advanced plan you can remove the ads, add a background image, change the visibility (Public or Hidden), configure player identification (Optional, Required or no method), hide elements of the interface (Ranking, Restart, Social media or Correct answers) and add a custom final message.
With an Academic plan you can restrict the visibility to your guests or to the integrations you create (Google Classroom, Moodle, Canvas…), and remove the player identification link.
With a Commercial plan you can also customize the game with your logo and corporate footer, choose the colors and hide the Educaplay brand.
Information and publishing
On the Information tab you set up what your player will see before and during the game. Ray automatically generates the Title and Description; if you created the game without Ray, you add them yourself. Here you also choose the Language of the game interface (you can present the game to your players in any of the 27 available languages, regardless of the language of the content), set the Education level and add Tags so your game is easier to find in the search engine. Before publishing, use Preview to check that everything looks the way you want.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the words “Yes” and “No” for others?
The answers will always be “Yes” or “No” (or their equivalent in the language you choose on the Information tab). You can resolve any either-or with those two options; for example, for “vertebrate / invertebrate”, ask “Is it a vertebrate?”.
Can I use Yes or No for opinion cards?
Yes. Mark Both as correct so that players receive positive feedback for any answer. In Reports you'll see what each one answered.
Can I import a list of cards I already have ready?
Yes. Paste or attach your list in the Ray box or with the Sources button.
Can I add images or audio to the cards?
Yes. Cards accept text, audio and images, and you can accompany them with a prompt.
Can I change the language of the game interface?
Yes. On the Information tab you can choose from the 27 available languages: Afrikaans, Aragonese, Asturian, Basque, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, Estonian, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. The interface language is independent from the content language: you can have a game written in English and show the interface in Japanese for your Japanese students, for example.
Which features require a paid plan?
With the Advanced plan you remove the ads, add a background image, manage visibility and player identification, hide interface elements and add a final message. With the Academic plan you can also restrict access to your guests or to your integrations (Google Classroom, Moodle, Canvas…). With the Commercial plan you customize the game with your logo, corporate colors and hide the Educaplay brand.
