Rank It!: put it in order
Rank It! gives every team the same list - inventions by age, countries by population - and asks them to drag it into the right order before the clock runs out. One teammate holds the list while the team argues it out in chat. Each item in exactly the right place scores, so a near miss still pays.

How a round works
- A list appears. Every team gets the same list the moment the clock starts.
- Drag it into order. One teammate holds the list (the captain by default); argue it out in your team chat.
- Score per slot. Orders lock at the buzzer - you score 10 for every item in exactly the right place.
Best for
- Teams that love a debate
- A quiz round with a different shape
- Mixed groups - partial answers still score

Questions
Who controls the list?
One teammate at a time - the captain by default. Anyone can take over, and the order carries over rather than resetting.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Items are dragged with a finger or moved with the arrow keys.
