Ludolio empowers libraries to lend and manage digital games as effortlessly as books. Our mission is to foster access to play in education through modern, easy-to-use library technology.
Originally developed by a team of academics at The University of Sydney, Ludolio also unlocks the educational potential of games by giving educators unique insight into how their students are playing.
We are committed to driving innovation, supporting communities, and bringing the joy of games to more people every day.
