Made in the classroom
Meet Miss Livesey
Socratello is led by Miss Livesey, a Year 5 teacher in Lancashire. Many quests start as ideas from her classroom, and more will as Socratello grows, so the games match what pupils are really learning in lessons.

Where our name comes from
Why “Socratello”?
Socrates was a famous thinker who lived in Athens, in ancient Greece, about 2,400 years ago. He didn’t just tell people the answers. He asked them questions, and helped them think their way to the answer for themselves.
In Italian, adding “-ello” to the end of a word makes it little. So Socratello means “little Socrates”: a curious young thinker who loves asking questions. That’s every child who plays here!
That’s why every quest is full of questions. Asking them, and working out the answers, is how great thinkers learn.
