Classcraft Reviews & Product Details

Excellent for Middle School and above. Great way to keep students engaged, and on-task, give autonomy in learning paces, etc. Students love the avatars and pets. Formative assessments and quest tasks are compatible with Google Classroom among other formats. It's the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside would be how time consuming it can be to set up initially and write out the descriptions. I haven't found a way to import assessment questions into the battles; they must be typed in individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very unique, and the absolute best tool for gamification. Very high student buy in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to give criticism or show room for improvement for students. Steep learning curve for advanced features. High amount of class time for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Classcraft engages my students and motivates them, not only to complete assignments, but also to behave in the classroom. I teach middle school special education to students with learning and behavior challenges. Classcraft helps me to manage my classroom and to motivate my students to work to the best of their ability in the classroom. I find that students who typically have behavior issues in the general education classroom, perform and behave much better for me in order to obtain Classcraft rewards.

I would love if more teachers in my school used Classcraft so that we could better interact through the program and provide consistency between courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to customize the abilities and rewards are the best parts of the game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like for the students to be able to do the boss battles independently and when we do boss battles in class to still have the question up after it has been answered for review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Classcraft creates an online environment for students that they are familiar with. The switch to online learning during the Covid 19 crisis left me with a classroom of disengaged students. When I added Classcraft to my Google Classroom assignments I reached students that had not even attempted a lesson. Students can collaborate in team discussions and worked quickly to earn points.

The cost for a schoolwide license is too high for our Title 1 school and without that I do not have access to analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was gamifying classroom management. I have lots of gamer students that loved being able to play Classcraft and learn at the same time. There are lots of resources available within the game for teachers to use to hype up the system, such as badges, posters, etc. The free component is good but the paid subscription is better.

I disliked having to pay for it since I'm poorly paid teacher and our school district will not let us crowdfund for things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that the students can customize their characters, they earn points and gold and can accessorize. This captures all the students attention, boys and girls. I also really like the random event, the boss battles...I could go on and on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pro version is not cheap, they used to have have a way to get some premium features without paying, I forget what it was called, but I liked it. It is gone though. Otherwise this is a great software package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Classcraft has allowed me to help my students actually practice using the 6 C's in my class this year. It has been wonderful to watch them collaborate, creatively think through problems, communicate respectfully with each other, and build their character and leadership skills all while playing a game. Instead of trying to do "group work" with students I can use Classcraft to allow me to have students work together for a common purpose without affecting their grades.

It seems many teachers have been asking for specific features for years, but Classcraft has been working on other features that teachers haven't asked for. There needs to be some balance between what customers want and the direction the company is going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to give students XP , AP, and GP for things that I want them to do. Many students are super excited to "buy" items for their avatars using Gold Points. Others are more into gaining experience and action points to learn and use their powers. All in all, most students really enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that you can't customize all of the powers. Many of my students really need something more tangible as a reward. For many of the powers, only the name can be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Quest setups, Character Profiles and looks. Kids Love when they can dress up their characters and read the storylines to follow along with the classwork. It is nice that it keeps track of when I add XP and Gold and when I take away HP. This helps me keep track of what my students are doing on a daily basis and where they and I can make improvements.

The powers can cause issues with my kids. They try to use them during class and that can become a distraction to the flow of the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
