Muzzy Lane Software is a technology company developing game-based learning software tools in the Education Technology space. In 2015 they released Muzzy Lane Author, a suite of tools that allow educators to create their own game-based learning assessments.
The company began by creating detailed strategy games with the goal of learning and teaching history. Their Making History series has been used in hundreds of classrooms; which led the company to create several commercial releases in the WWII and WWI eras. In 2016, the company sold the Making History franchise to Factus Games, and is now focused entirely on education technology. They work with partners including McGraw-Hill Education, Pearson, Cengage, National geographic, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and directly with universities. Muzzy Lane recently released the results of a research study on nontraditional students funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
