Using Mastery Quests with students?

Tell me how you’re using it.

If you use a Mastery Quests game in a course, I’d love to hear what you tried and how it went. Classroom use and faculty feedback will help guide future development and may support future research on game-based practice, adaptive learning, and student engagement.

Share your classroom use

Send a quick faculty note

A short email is enough. If possible, include your institution, course or discipline, approximate number of students, what you used, and how you used it.

Future research

Interested in collaborating?

If you may be interested in future research involving Mastery Quests, mention that in your note. No student data are requested here; this is simply a way to identify faculty who may want to stay involved as the project develops.

Private by default

The composer works in your browser.

Faculty selections and generated question data are not sent to a Mastery Quests server. Generated games keep progress and run data in the learner's browser. Nothing is automatically transmitted; a results or CSV file leaves the browser only when the learner intentionally downloads and submits it through an instructor-directed course workflow.

Review the Privacy Notice

Optional telemetry on HTTPS hosts

You can choose to collect anonymous gameplay data when you create a game with the official Mastery Quests Composer. Collection is OFF by default. To send data, the game must be published on a supported HTTPS website. Permission to send data lasts 365 days for each generated game. Collection stops if that permission expires or is withdrawn, or if a player turns it off in their browser. Players can still play and download their game data. Data already received stays subject to the separate 730-day retention policy.

A game opened directly from a file on your computer can be played and can save a CSV, but it cannot send gameplay data to Mastery Quests. Publish the same file on a supported HTTPS website to enable collection while its permission is valid. Your LMS or network may still block data collection, so test the game the way students will open it. Anonymous records cannot confirm who played or reliably link the same player across different websites.

The National Engine uses an older data-collection setup. Check its own notice for details.
