Do you miss the original Classcraft?

Classcraft was a gamification system for school classroom management and student motivation. It started in 2014 and continued until 2024. According to former President and co-founder of Classcraft Devin Young, before it’s original form was discontinued, Classcraft had reached 6 million students and educators in 165 countries. One in three schools in the United States had at least one teacher using Classcraft.

The original Classcraft tapped into the love many students have for games such as Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft, as well as the fantasy genre of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and more. 

In 2023, Classcraft as a brand was acquired by HMH. Gone is the magic: the magic of dragons, wizards, and the emphasis on gamification.
