Weekly K12 Zone Guide

A brand-new Castle Quest Raffle has arrived in the K12 Zone, giving students the chance to solve daily riddles and win exciting prizes! Each day in March, students can visit the Town Crier in the National Zones to find a new castle-themed riddle. At the end of the week, students who have correctly answered all five riddles will be entered into a raffle to win one of four $25 gift cards.

Teachers can join in on the fun too! Each week, the four K12 teachers with the most student riddle submissions—right or wrong—will also receive a $25 gift card. Encourage your students to participate daily to maximize their chances of winning while sharpening their problem-solving skills!

In addition to the Castle Quest Raffle, students can now enjoy brand-new castle-themed avatars in the K12 Zone! Whether they want to become a fearsome dragon, a noble knight, or a playful jester, these new avatars bring even more medieval fun to the experience.

✨ Encourage your students to visit the Town Crier today, solve the daily riddle, and check out the new avatars in the K12 Zone!
