Muzzy Lane

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 World War II and World War I eras. They have worked with partners including McGraw-Hill Education, Pearson Education, Cengage Learning, the National Geographic Society, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and directly with universities. Muzzy Lane published a research study on non-traditional students funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2016.

In 2016, the company sold the Making History franchise to Factus Games, and is now focused entirely on educational technology.
