Categorize, a place for every card

A stack of cards and 2 to 4 categories. The player puts each card in the right one, then submits.

Describe your game: the assistant builds it, you fine-tune it.

How it works

Sorting forces people to understand what sets one category apart from another. To place a card, the player has to spot the criterion that matters, and that reasoning is what stays with them after the game.

Players see every category at once and can move a card around until they submit. They compare, hesitate and change their minds, just like at a real sorting board.

For the player

1Cards wait in a tray, facing 2 to 4 colored zones, each with its own name.
2The player drags each card into a zone, or taps a card and then the zone. Tapping a card that's already placed sends it back to the tray.
3A counter shows how many cards are left. On submit, each card turns green or red.

What you set

Add your cards as text, images or both, and pick the category for each one.
Set the tries, the points for each try and the timer, 30 seconds by default.
Add hints and your own success, try-again and fail messages.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a categorization game online?

In the Ludiz editor, add a Categorize step, name your categories, then add the cards and their category. The AI assistant can also build the step from a description, illustrated cards included.

How many categories can I have?

Between 2 and 4 per step, each with its own name and color. There is no set number of cards to sort.

How is it different from swipe cards?

Swipe cards come one at a time and go to one side or the other. Categorize shows every card and up to 4 categories at once, and players can change their minds before they submit.
