ZEP Implements "ZEP QUIZ" in Himeji City's Learning Platform

EdTech company ZEP Co., LTD. (CEOs: Kim Won-bae, Kim Sang-yeop) has announced that its gamified quiz service, "ZEP QUIZ," has been implemented in the learning platform operated by the Himeji City government in Japan.

Operations are scheduled to begin in early April 2026, and this implementation marks the first time ZEP QUIZ has been introduced to a Japanese municipal learning platform.

■ Background of Implementation
Himeji City is promoting the development of educational environments that utilize digital technology as part of its smart city initiative. On January 27, 2025, the city launched an online learning platform for junior high school students in the city, utilizing the 2D metaverse "ZEP (*1)."

In a learning environment utilizing a metaverse space, a new educational experience is provided where students can participate in learning while interacting with each other online. The implementation of ZEP QUIZ aims to further expand real-time participatory learning content within this metaverse learning environment.

This will enable students to gain a new learning experience that combines a metaverse space with quiz-based participatory learning.
