The Power of Relationships
“Supportive student-faculty relationships are linked to better school performance and engagement, greater social competence, and willingness to take on challenges.”
Learning Policy Institute (2018)
Community

Foster relationships between students and faculty.

Practice

Review classroom content and refine skills.

Empowerment

Empower students to take on new challenges through competition.

How It Works
1Students try to solve riddles that reveal teachers’ identities.
2When revealed, the student finds the teacher and is asked questions based on classroom content. If successful, the student receives the teacher’s Stumped card.
3The student that collects the most Stumped cards wins.
Why Stumped?

Light a Fire

"Students who feel they belong at school are also less likely to engage in risky and antisocial behaviours, to play truant and drop out of school, and to be unsatisfied with their lives."[1]

Full House

“Research suggests that students are more likely to attend and graduate from school, attach to learning, and succeed academically when they have strong, trusting, and supportive connections to adults, including at least one committed relationship with a close advisor or mentor.”[2]

Caps and Gowns

“In America today, 1.3 million students fail to graduate each year; this means that... more than 7,200 students drop out every day.” “Often, it is because of close adult-student relationships that students who are placed at risk are able to attach to school, problem solve, and gain the academic and other kinds of help they need to succeed, thereby decreasing the risk for dropping out.”[3]

Data Driven

Stumped collects precise data regarding participant engagement, student-staff interactions, content retention, and more. All data content can be imported and exported for your administrative needs.

What Teachers Say
“Stumped provided me with the opportunity to develop a rapport with students I otherwise may have never got the chance to know. Truly a community builder, the app encourages open communication and interpersonal skills for students. I have seen it help dissolve barriers between staff and students alike as well as strengthen the foundation for school community and unity.”
Max Guido
High School Teacher
“Stumped has been great for us, I’ve never seen anything like it in my career in terms of student and teacher buy-in. It's given me a chance to interact with students I’ve never met before as well as build relationships with students in my class. Stumped has built a stronger school community for us, one that has enabled students, teachers, staff members to build relationships that may not have formed without it.”
Alex Miller
High School Teacher
”Stumped was such a fun game to play as a school! It broke down the boundary of "that's not my teacher". Now, when I see those students in the hallway, we have a connection we never would have had before. It was a big step in changing the culture of the school into one community.”
Virginia Peterson
High School Teacher
“The kids were so engaged and happy. It really built school culture, which is something I think every school needs. In this day and age, you have so many kids who are so obsessed with their phone. Human interaction is almost a lost art. Stumped really brought that to the table and united our school, 100 percent.”

What Students Say
“Playing Stumped was an amazing experience, as it connected our school on a whole new level. This game was a great way to connect with new teachers, or connect with the teachers you see everyday... This was a great way to review things from your current classes. However it was also a great wad to review throwbacks from your old classes that you may have forgotten until then... Overall this was a great game and I can’t wait to play in years to come!”
Student
“It was a really cool project because I got to meet with my teachers in a different setting. We went over various concepts we learned in class outside of the classroom itself, which made it a lot more fun and interactive (especially being one-to-one). I also got to know many teachers I hadn’t had before... [I became] aware of what I could learn in my future years here through the new connections I fostered with teachers.”
Student
“Participating in Stumped this year was a rewarding experience. I was hesitant to play at the time since I was a Sophomore and I didn't know a lot of my teachers. Stumped introduced me to many teachers and students... While playing the game students became friends by helping each other out... Stumped is a creative and challenging game that motivates students to want to learn and meet new people.”
