Free for teachers · iOS and Android now in beta · Web in November

Curriculum students want instead of tolerate.

RogueLore helps teachers build lessons that work the way good games do: students learn because they want what's on the other side of the challenge.

For: Teachers in any subject.

Why I built it

In every school I've visited, I see disengaged students and frustrated teachers. Even the students who are engaged are chasing the score, not the understanding.

Games solved this decades ago. You don't learn a game by reading a manual. You learn to jump because something is in your way, and you want to get past it because what's on the other side matters to you. RogueLore brings that design to the classroom. It's built on engagement psychology and game theory, not gamification.

Every one of us has our own teaching style. I won't tell you this is better, but I can tell you that I go to the bathroom whenever I want to.

What it does

Write your own curriculum

Built-in apps help you write original curriculum in your own voice, no AI necessary.

Build a course like a game

Turn your course into real-world levels and bosses that students work toward.

Get your time back

When students are this engaged, they keep the work moving, and you get time back in your day.
