Gamified learning and engagement
Gamely turns one set of questions, or a lesson file, into any of 20 games: live in class, as homework, or in a study hub, with XP, badges, quests and class boss battles that keep people coming back. It installs on your own server, connects to your LMS and sign-in system, and uses the AI provider you choose.
The work it takes off your plate
01Teachers re-enter the same material for quizzes, flashcards, word games and worksheets.
A question set is written once and plays in every game type that fits; the builder ranks the 20 templates by how many questions they can use.
02Interest fades after the first quiz.
XP, levels, daily streaks, badges, daily quests, teacher challenges, an avatar shop and class boss battles reward coming back.
03Writing good questions takes hours.
AI drafts up to 50 questions from a topic, pasted text or the school's own lesson files, including scans and recordings, for the teacher to check.
04Scores have to be retyped into the LMS.
LTI 1.3 and direct gradebook sync send scores to Canvas, Google Classroom, Blackboard or Moodle automatically.
05Per-teacher subscriptions grow every year and keep data on the vendor's servers.
Gamely is bought once and installed on the organization's own server, with no seat limits in the software.
Why it is different
Questions are stored apart from games, so a single set plays as Classic Quiz, Gameshow, Tower Defense, Gold Quest, Crossword, Map Quest, Spot It, Listen & Spell and more. The builder shows which templates fit.
More variety for learners with no extra preparation time.
Elsewhere: Live-quiz tools run one quiz in several live modes; Wordwall also switches templates (34 on its Pro plan).
Gamely installs on the organization's own server with a setup wizard, keeps files private behind short-lived links, and has no user, seat or plan limits in the code.
Predictable cost and full control over where student or staff data lives.
Elsewhere: Hosted subscriptions priced per teacher, host or learner, with data in vendor-chosen regions.
LTI 1.3 Advantage, gradebook sync to Canvas, Google Classroom and Blackboard, eight sign-on options including SAML, two-factor sign-in, a REST API and signed webhooks ship in every install.
No surprise upgrade when IT asks for single sign-on or grades in the LMS.
Elsewhere: LMS and enterprise SSO reserved for school, district or enterprise plans (Kahoot requires 25+ EDU licences for LTI).
An XP and coins ledger, levels, streaks, 15 automatic badges, daily quests, teacher challenges, an avatar shop, class boss battles and rewards for teachers.
Learners keep practising between lessons; teachers are recognised for engagement.
Elsewhere: Points and leaderboards inside each game, with fewer lasting rewards documented.
Pick from 13 AI providers per organization, including a private model on your own server through Ollama. Keys are encrypted. Without AI, questions can still be made from text and scans with built-in rules and free OCR.
You decide what AI sees your content and what it costs.
Elsewhere: Vendor-chosen AI, often limited by plan or usage credits.
