Prodigy Education, Inc., formerly Prodigy Game, is a educational technology company focused on game-based learning. Its co-CEOs and founders are Alex Peters and Rohan Mahimker.[1] It is the developer of the 2011 and 2022 Prodigy Math, a roleplaying game where players solve math problems to participate in battles and cast spells, and Prodigy English, a sandbox game where players answer English questions to earn currency to gain items. Although each game is standalone, both are accessible through a single Prodigy account. The games are widely used in schools, though they have attracted criticism due to excessive in-game advertising for membership and their freemium aspects.[2]
