About us

Let learning feel like winning.

MASKAX is a learning contest app built for Somali students — it turns studying into a game you play with your classmates.

The story

MASKAX is built for Somali students. The idea is simple: students already love competing and playing games on their phones — why not use that for learning?

We turned revising a lesson into a fun contest, with questions from the Somali curriculum. The student who wins is the one who understood the lesson, not just the one who memorised it.

You can play 1v1 against another student, challenge a friend, play with a group, or practise alone. Every day you open the app your streak grows, and your XP takes you up the levels and the leaderboard of your class.
