Form squads with friends for cooperative study raids that level up your grades
High school and college students find gamified learning apps unengaging due to the absence of multiplayer features comparable to their favorite video games.
SquadStudy enables students to team up in persistent squads for shared challenges, progress bars, and boss raids (group quizzes) mimicking MMORPG guilds. Squads unlock collective rewards as they hit study milestones. It fosters accountability through shared leaderboards and peer nudges.
