Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before you start playing.
What subjects can I study?
Any subject you want. Upload your own notes or paste in text and we'll turn your material into questions (every plan turns YouTube video links into questions too). Or pick a ready-made set another student shared in the public library.
What games can I play?
There are 21 arcade game modes. Some fan favorites: ZykoCross (hop roads and rivers by answering questions), Kickoff Study (3D soccer where you sink a shot when you get one right), Launch IQ (answer fast to keep your rocket climbing), Quiz Rush (a 3D racing game where right answers keep you fast), Crystal Descent, Archery Aim, and Blackjack. Most are playable on any plan; five games carry a Premium badge, and those are included with every plan — Base included — until November 1, 2026, after which they need Premium. Two more, Drop Logic and Gridlock, are in beta and playable as demos from the Games page while we finish them. New games are added regularly, so check the Games page for the full list.
How is ZykoStudy different from Quizlet or Kahoot?
Quizlet is built around flashcards; Kahoot is built around live, host-led quizzes. ZykoStudy is solo-first arcade gameplay from your own notes: the questions are woven into real games, so you're playing soccer or dodging rockets while you review. Miss one and you get an instant AI explanation, and your Progress page pinpoints your weak topics so you can drill exactly what you're missing. You actually want to keep playing, which means more study time without it feeling like work.
Can I use ZykoStudy in my classroom?
Yes. Teachers can create a class, add students, and assign any study set. Students join with a class code and their progress (accuracy by topic, XP earned, games played) is visible on the teacher dashboard. It works great as a bell-ringer, review activity, or homework alternative.
