Gamify Your Classroom.
Engage Every Student.
Build a classroom economy where students earn rewards, level up, and stay motivated. Minutes to set up, effortless to run.
Built by a team that’s spent over a decade creating tools for real classrooms.
Up and Running in Minutes
No training needed. Set up your classroom economy in four simple steps.
Create Your Classroom
Sign up free, name your class, and customize your currency. Share a join code so students can enroll in seconds.
Stock Your Shop
Add rewards to your item shop, like homework passes, seat changes, free-read time, or anything your students love.
Reward & Engage
Award currency for great work, participation, and behavior. Students spend at the shop and level up through the system.
Watch Them Thrive
Track engagement through leaderboards, badges, and insights. Students develop agency while you keep learning on track.
Everything You Need to Gamify Your Classroom
From your own custom economy to AI-powered insights. Give every student a reason to show up, engage, and thrive.
Your Economy, Your Rules
Name your own currency and set the rules. Students earn for assignments, behavior, participation, anything you decide! Then they spend what they earn in the shop.
The Item Shop
Stock rewards students actually want homework passes, seat changes, free-read time, you name it. You approve every order, incentivizing learning along the way.
Badges & Levels
Award badges for milestones, watch students level up automatically as they engage, and create visible progress that fuels intrinsic motivation.
Power-Ups & Game Utilities
Create custom special items that boost gameplay and surprise your students, from coupon-style power-ups to interactive game tools that keep the energy high.
Adventures & Quizzes
Administer secure quizzes, assign videos, launch polls, and more. Best of all, points are automatically awarded on completion, streamlining the process.
Leaderboards & Insights
See participation data at a glance with leaderboards, history logs, and analytics. Track engagement, purchases, and assessment progress over time.
Teamwork & Houses
Set collaborative class goals, form guilds for small-group competitions, or create a Houses system for epic team rivalries. Individual motivation meets collective energy.
AI-Assisted Tools
Generate quiz questions instantly, create unique item images in seconds, and surface student insights with built-in AI that's safe, secure, and completely optional.
Assessment That Feels Like Gameplay
Quickly administer secure quizzes, assign video content, launch polls, and spark discussions, all with points automatically awarded the moment students finish. Brain-based design that's optimized for the AI era.
Auto-Award Points
Students complete tasks and points appear automatically. No manual tracking needed. The process is seamless.
Secure Quiz Mode
Lock-screen quiz mode built for the AI era. Students cannot leave the active tab, copy, or paste. Perfect for warm-ups, quizzes, and formative checks.
Track Everything
See exactly how many minutes of the assigned video that students watched. Video watch progress, link clicks, and quiz attempts, all in one place.
Remix for Mastery
A brain-based algorithm generates personalized follow-up quizzes based on what each student previously got right and wrong, promoting deeper learning.
Grounded in How the Brain Actually Learns
Every feature in SemesterQuest maps to how the brain processes motivation, memory, and reward. This isn't gamification as an afterthought; it's neuroscience woven into every interaction.
The Joy of Choosing
Our brains love having options. When students choose how to spend their coins and which rewards to pursue, the prefrontal cortex lights up, which is the same region responsible for planning, decision-making, and self-regulation. Autonomy isn't a nice-to-have. It's one of the most powerful drivers of intrinsic motivation.
Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan)Instant Reward, Lasting Impact
Our brains love quick wins. When students earn currency or unlock a badge, the brain's dopamine reward circuit fires, creating a "do it again" loop. The amygdala tags the experience as emotionally meaningful while the nucleus accumbens reinforces the behavior through dopamine award signals. That's not just fun; it's conditioning for engagement.
Dopamine & Reinforcement Learning Research (Shultz)Seeing Growth in Real Time
Our brains love tracking progress. Levels, leaderboards, and badges make learning growth visible and tangible. The hippocampus, your brain's memory center, encodes these milestones as meaningful events, strengthening the neural link between effort and achievement. Visible progress fuels the drive to keep going.
Goal-Setting Theory (Locke & Latham)The Power of Belonging
Our brains love belonging. Leaderboards, team goals, and collaborative achievements tap into social processing networks that shape status, identity, and connection. Healthy competition activates the same circuits that make us feel part of something bigger, and community is one of the strongest motivators we have.
