GAMIFIED STUDYING

Turn studying into a game.

Not a timer with badges: a game whose levels, bosses and streaks are earned by answering questions from your own notes. The studying is the playing.

How studying turns into a game

One upload, then the material comes to you.

01

Upload what you study

A textbook, lecture notes, a summary, a past paper: any PDF or EPUB up to 50 MB, in any language, on any subject.

02

A world is written from it

In a few minutes you get maps, characters and multiple-choice questions on every key idea, each explained. The RPG, the tower, the mini-games, the duels and the flashcard deck all share them.

03

Earn everything by answering

XP, levels, map unlocks, bosses, streaks and achievements all come from right answers. There is nothing to grind that is not also studying.

What makes it a game

The systems of an RPG, wired to the questions of your material.

Rewards for answers, not minutes

Many study apps pay you for time on a timer. Here XP comes only from questions you answered right, so the score measures what you know.

Levels, bosses and maps

Each world has levels and HP, a boss on every map that unlocks the next, a streak multiplier for runs of right answers, and a last boss to finish.

Five games on one upload

An RPG for the evening, a tower for ten minutes, mini-games in a queue, flashcards on the bus, a duel at lunch. Same questions, shared progress.

Achievements, an avatar and a room

Across every world: achievements, daily goals and a day streak, a character you dress with what you unlock, and a pixel room in the free study timer.

When another tool fits better

Three cases where you want something else.

You only want a focus timer

If the problem is sitting down, not remembering, start with the free study timer here: a room, a cat, lo-fi music and XP per block, with nothing to upload.

The subject is problem sets

Questions test ideas and facts in sentences. Calculus, coding and proofs are learnt by doing the problems; the game is for the theory you must remember.

An exam tomorrow morning

A game is slower per question than a drill. The night before, open the flashcard deck of the world and grade straight through it.

Built on real books

Live numbers, straight from the database.

Questions

Is gamified studying effective?
What makes it work is not the points but what earns them: every point here is a question answered from your own material, which is the practice testing the research rates highest. The game part is what gets you to do it for an hour. The Active recall page lists the papers.
What do I earn?
In a world: XP, levels, HP, the next map when you beat a boss, a streak multiplier for runs of right answers, items from chests, and a finished world. Across worlds: achievements, daily goals, a day streak, titles, clothes and companions for your avatar, and decorations for the room in the study timer.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes: the games run in the browser on a phone or a tablet with on-screen controls, and there is an Android app. Progress is the same everywhere, since it is saved to your account.
Does it work for my subject?
If the material explains things in sentences, yes: medicine, law, history, biology, economics, psychology, languages, certification manuals. It is weakest on pure calculation and on books that are mostly images or tables.
How is this different from a study timer with rewards?
A timer rewards minutes, whether or not anything went in. Here the rewards come from answers, so they measure what you know. There is a study timer too, free, with its own room and XP per block, for the days when sitting down is the hard part.
Is it free?
Playing is free: the public worlds cost nothing and never expire, and every premium world has a preview (5 battles, 10 Tower Climb questions and 10 mini-game questions, plus the flashcards of its first maps). Your own book takes a book-to-game credit; Lifetime Pro is one payment that includes 3 book-to-game credits and opens every world in full. No subscription.
