Ranking

Ranking is an opinion activity. You give the room a set of items and everyone drags them into their own preferred order. There's no right answer. The point is to see how the whole room's priorities line up once everyone's rankings are combined.

How players experience it

1. The question appears at the top (for example, "Rank these from most to least important").
2. Below it is the list of items, each with a position number. Players drag an item to move it up or down, and top is #1. They can also use the up and down arrow keys on an item's handle to move it.
3. When they're happy with their order, they tap "Submit my ranking."
4. After submitting, their order locks and they see "Your ranking is in!" If the host hasn't revealed results yet, they're told results will appear when the host reveals them.
5. Once results are shown, players see the combined ranking for the whole room.

Players don't have to touch every item. Whatever order the list is in when they submit is what counts, so the ranking is always complete.

What the results show

Each item is scored by its average rank position across everyone who took part (1 = top). The results list is sorted so the room's favourite appears first, and each item shows its average rank alongside a count of how many responses came in. Items nobody ranked sink to the bottom.

Setting one up as a host

When you add a Ranking activity to your Roo:

• Write the question. This is the prompt that tells players what they're ordering.
• Add the items to rank. You need at least 2 and can have up to 10. Type a label for each one (up to 200 characters), and use "Add item" or the trash icon to add or remove them.
• Drag the handle to set the starting order players see before they begin. A live preview shows exactly how the order-me list will look to a participant.

There are no correct answers to mark. A Ranking is simply the question and the list of items.

Tips

• Keep items short and distinct. Punchy labels are much easier to drag and compare than long sentences.
• A handful of items works best. Ranking a shorter list is quicker and produces a clearer combined result than wrestling with all ten.
• Great for prioritising. Use it to sort features, values, options, or ideas and let the room's collective order surface, with no debate required.
