Muzzy Lane Software is a technology company developing game-based learning software tools in the Education Technology space. In 2015 they released Muzzy Lane Author, a suite of tools that allow educators to create their own game-based learning assessments.

The company began by creating detailed strategy games with the goal of learning and teaching history. Their Making History series has been used in hundreds of classrooms; which led the company to create several commercial releases in the World War II and World War I eras. They have worked with partners including McGraw-Hill Education, Pearson Education, Cengage Learning, the National Geographic Society, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and directly with universities. Muzzy Lane published a research study on non-traditional students funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2016.{{cite web|title=The Potential for Game-based Learning to Improve Outcome for Nontraditional Students|url=http://www.muzzylane.com/wp-content/uploads/MuzzyLaneResearchReport.1.20.2016.pdf|website=Muzzy Lane|accessdate=21 February 2017|date=20 January 2016}}
