How Random Encounters Work

As the most complete Classcraft alternative, our Random Encounters feature replaces Random Events with enhanced functionality. A daily event the teacher can run that pulls from a list of daily events. Daily events can do things like "Deal 10 damage to all players on 'x' team" or whatever. Teachers can create their own random encounters, run them once per day, and should never see the same random encounter twice, unless they run out of random encounters.

Daily Events

Run one random encounter per day to keep your classroom dynamic and unpredictable. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities.

Custom Creation

Teachers can create their own random encounters with custom effects, targeting specific teams or individual students.

No Repeats

The system ensures you never see the same random encounter twice until you've run through all available encounters.

Event Logging

Keep a log of which random encounter was run on what day so you can track classroom events and their effects.
