Introducing Notion Student Game Mode: Your Academic Life, Gamified

It started with the Notion RPG hobby structure, over 10,000 downloads and incredible feedback from the community. Then we took it further with Life Game Mode, which reached 5,000 downloads in just a few months.

But something was missing.

Students needed their own dedicated system. One that understands the unique challenges of academic life: exams, lectures, assignments, and the constant juggle between personal and school tasks.

So we built Student Game Mode, a gamified Notion template designed specifically for students who want to stay motivated, organized, and actually enjoy the learning process.

And yes, it's completely free.

What's Inside the Template

📊 Dashboard Your command center. See all your daily tasks, habits, recent lectures, and upcoming reviews in one place.

🎮 Character System Create your personal character that levels up as you complete tasks and achieve goals. Track your total XP, coins earned, current level, and progress to the next level.

✅ Habits Tracker Manage both good and bad habits. Complete good habits to earn XP and coins. Avoid bad habits to keep your progress intact. Includes multiple views: today's habits, this month, and all-time tracking.

📝 Daily Quests Two types of quests to organize your life:

• Personal Quests: Gym sessions, personal projects, website work, etc.

• School Quests: Homework, assignments, and academic tasks

School quests give slightly higher rewards to prioritize your studies.

🎓 Academies (Courses) Track all your subjects with:

• Term/semester tracking

• Difficulty levels (easy, moderate, challenging)

• Scholar marks (exam scores)

• Average grade calculation

• Related lectures, notes, and projects

📚 Lectures Capture and organize lecture notes with a smart review system. Set review reminders after a certain number of days and earn XP when you complete reviews. Never forget important material before exams.

🎯 Objectives & Missions

• Objectives: Your long-term goals (yearly targets)

• Missions: Projects broken down into manageable tasks

• Progress tracking that shows exactly how close you are to completion

• Huge XP and coin rewards when you achieve major goals

📓 Memory Logs (Notes) Create notes related to any course or lecture. Use the same review system as lectures to ensure you retain important information. Group by lectures or academies for easy access.

🎁 Rewards System Spend your hard-earned coins on rewards:

• Daily rewards: Sweet treats, gaming time, social media breaks

• Major rewards: New laptop, vacation, or anything you're working toward

🚀 Study Boosters Unlock powerful study techniques as you level up:

• Pomodoro Technique (Level 10)

• Active Recall (Level 20)

• Spaced Repetition (Level 30)

• And more advanced techniques up to Level 200

Each unlocked booster can multiply your point earnings, helping you progress faster.
