Clock Quest
Read it, set it, beat it
About Clock Quest
Drag real clock hands to match a time, or read the clock and pick the answer. Ramps from o’clock all the way to elapsed-time word problems.
Ankhdase tracks 4 distinct skills in Clock Quest, including Time to the hour, Time to 5 minutes, Time to the minute and Elapsed time. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
There are 3 modes to choose from: Read the clock, Set the clock and Elapsed time.
How to play
- Read mode: look at the clock and pick the matching time.
- Set mode: drag the hands until the clock shows the time you are asked for.
- Elapsed mode: work out what the time will be after a gap.
Skills Clock Quest practices
- Time to the hour
- Time to 5 minutes
- Time to the minute
- Elapsed time
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
