Co-op study missions where your group's progress levels up together.
Students are frustrated that gamified learning apps lack engaging multiplayer features for collaborative group study sessions like those in popular games.
GroupQuest creates shared 'quest worlds' for study groups, with cooperative challenges, shared XP, and milestones unlocked as a team. Students tackle subjects via joint tasks like shared notes or mini-games, with narrative progression like RPGs. Team dashboards track collective improvement for motivation.
