Informatist is a free business simulation for high school classes with no student accounts — no emails, no rosters, no passwords to reset.
Informatist asks students for no names, no emails and no accounts. Students open a link, type a team name and play; a game is identified by a random session key.
What we keep: a record of each class game (the team names students typed, every decision and result, and the AI and coach text) for one year, so the game can be reviewed and improved; encrypted daily backups for up to 180 days; and web server logs, which include IP addresses, for 14 days. A teacher can ask us to delete a class record sooner. The privacy policy and the IT one-pager list it all.
Districts accessed an average of 2,982 distinct edtech tools in the 2024–25 school year, up nearly 9% year over year LearnPlatform by Instructure, 2024–25 EdTech Top 40 (as reported 2026).
Every one of those tools with student accounts is a review, a data-privacy agreement, and a password-reset queue. The fastest tool to approve is the one with the least to review, which is why "no login" is not a convenience feature here. It is the product decision the whole system is built around.
Informatist runs in any modern browser on a managed Chromebook: no install, no extension, no SSO, no firewall rule. Allowlist informatist.net and www.informatist.net — nothing else; the site makes no requests to any other domain.
If your web filter blocks unknown sites, paste this into an email — or send the printable IT one-pager:
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Solo games expire within 24 hours; single-period classroom rooms after 7 days without activity; multi-day unit rooms after 30 days without activity.
It is designed so very little applies: no student names, emails or accounts are asked for, there is no advertising, and nothing is sold. Students type a team name; ask them not to use real names. Details in the privacy policy — written in plain language on purpose.
That's your district's call. There are no student accounts, but we do keep a record of each class game for a year. The IT one-pager answers the standard review questions on one printable page.
Also no account. A teacher applies once with a work email on the classroom beta application, and we email a classroom link if it's a fit.
