Engaging Role-playing Games to Love Learning! It’s time to
take the field trip to your students!

Odeum develops fully customizable — as well as
“out of the box” — educational games for teachers to apply to
their curricula in the areas of social studies, language arts,
literature and more. Educators can choose from included
titles, such as MacBeth and Anne Frank; employ historical
environments into customizable “plug-and-play” kits of
theaters, actors, and scene maps; or search and adapt their
peers’ created games in the Odeum game exchange. A
15-minute experiential game provides an immersive alternative
to 15 minutes of board work or written quizzes for teachers
who want to create and inspire learners to absorb course
material and its deeper, underlying concepts for life.

As we look back on 2025, we’re grateful to share a meaningful milestone.

Odeum was named Top Game-Based Immersive Learning Platform of 2025.

Odeum was created around a simple idea: learning is most powerful when it’s experienced. Through story-driven worlds, interactive dialogue, and player choice, we aim to help students learn by doing. Whether they’re exploring history, language, or new ways of thinking.

This recognition affirms the growing role of immersive, game-based learning in education. We’re excited to continue building tools and experiences that support educators, learners, and creators in the year ahead.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in this work.

Here’s to what’s next in 2026.
