Hello SDN!

My name is Zach Rottmann, I am a first year medical resident (doctor) at Geisinger Hospital and owner of Synergy Studios. Over the past 6 months I have ferociously been making a game with my colleagues which we think will be fun as well as help study for those pesky standardized exams.

Let’s face it – studying is boring. How do we get students to engage in studying with the same kind of focus and enthusiasm they reserve for video games? The solution, fortunately, is right there in the question – we make studying more like video games. The application of game mechanics to non-game contexts is called “gamification,” and it’s been proven to increase engagement in everything from education to marketing.

At Synergy Studios, our mission is to combat boring studying. Using the power of Unreal Engine 4, we’re working together to create the next generation of educational games. We want learning to feel exciting, even addictive. Now we've created a game that does just that.

Introducing: Quiz.Life

Quiz.Life is a quiz battle where players develop their army and use them to destroy their opponent’s base. In order to build up this army, players must answer in-game questions. The players can use points earned from answering quiz questions to evolve their units and upgrade their base. And because it’s created by medical students, Quiz.Life takes place on the most unusual battleground of all – inside the human body!

Our Story

We at Synergy Studios is to creating educational games that are fun, rewarding, and most importantly, produce results in the form of higher test scores and increased student attention. Researchers recently found that question banks are the most effective and efficient study method, and using this research, we’ve created a game designed for students, by students.

How It Works

Quiz.Life is the game where you and your friends battle to literally get under each other’s skin! In this interactive battle quiz game, you control your own army of bacteria to take over your opponent’s body systems. But watch your back – along with your heart and lungs – because your opponents will be doing the same!
●Answer questions that challenge your knowledge – our unique question generation algorithm learns what you know and what you don’t and puts emphasis on the topics you struggle with.
●Gain points for correct answers and use them to upgrade your army.
●Tackle your opponent’s organ systems. Outcompete them in the heart, lungs, skin, and elsewhere.
●Manage your own base in between battles by building up your defenses using the points you've earned.

Quiz.Life features in-game chat, auto-matching based on level, and achievements and trophies as well as global rankings for serious players. It’s completely free to play, runs in almost any browser as well as Android and iOS devices, and benefits from constant updates.
