Four playable characters
Aquilles, Psyquill, Squillshot, and Quillith each carry their own card pool and playstyle.
Where correct answers forge stronger decks
Quillrun is a roguelike deck-building game built for the classroom. Students fight their way through procedurally generated runs — and every correct answer to your curriculum questions upgrades a card in their deck.
Free for teachers. No student accounts required.
A deck-builder that runs on your curriculum
Most review games end when the questions do. Quillrun turns them into the engine of a real run: four playable characters, procedurally generated maps, minibosses, shop nodes, and a final boss — all powered by the question sets you build or assign.
Students answer multiple-choice or numeric questions before each fight. Get one right, and a card in the active deck gets stronger. Get one wrong, and the deck stays as it is — no penalty beyond the fight ahead. By the time a class reaches its boss, no two decks look the same.
You manage everything from a separate educator dashboard: build question sets from scratch or start from a preset library, assign them to a class, and watch results come in as students play.

Built like a game, run like a gradebook
A real roguelike structure
Procedurally generated maps, a miniboss, a shop, and a final boss — every run plays out differently.
Curriculum-driven progression
Cards only get stronger through correct answers, so mastery and deck power grow together.
Built for the classroom
Class codes get students in fast. No required sign-in, per-student and per-class analytics either way.
A head start on content
Assign a ready-made question set on day one, or build your own whenever you're ready.
Questions teachers ask
Do students need their own accounts?
No. A class join code is enough for a student to start a run. If you'd rather have persistent student progress and sign-in, you can require it per class.
How long does setup take?
Create a class, share the code, and assign a question set — most teachers have a class running its first game session in under five minutes.
Do I have to write my own questions?
No. Quillrun ships with preset question sets you can assign right away, and you can build your own from scratch or edit a preset at any time.
What grade levels is this for?
Quillrun is built for middle and high school classrooms.
What devices does it run on?
Quillrun runs in the browser, no install required, and is designed with Chromebooks in mind since that's the most common classroom device.
Is there a cost?
Quillrun is completely free right now. As the platform grows, we may introduce an optional pro tier for teachers — things like publishing custom question sets or browsing other teachers' custom sets — but the core game, class creation, and analytics will stay free.
What student data do you collect?
Students can play anonymously by default — no account, no personal information, just a class code. If a teacher chooses to require verified sign-in for a class, only that student's email and their responses to the assigned questions are recorded. We built Quillrun around a simple rule: collect the minimum needed to make the classroom feature work, and nothing more. Student privacy isn't a setting we bolted on — it's the default we designed around.
