Does Boddle have an initial placement test for students?
Boddle automatically gives all new students a placement test when they start playing the game, and gets students to the right level after a series of assessment items that look like regular gameplay. You can learn more about the Placement Test here.
You may override the curriculum by changing the level for individual students using the “Change Curriculum” function, as well as through “Assignments”.

Why is the company called Boddle?
Boddle is named after our unique bottle-headed game characters that fill up as they learn.
When their heads are filled up, they pour back out to water plants and trees!
Boddles are designed to tell students:
1. To fill up on knowledge
2. To value themselves and others for the content of their character
3. That they have the power and ability to change their environment for the better
