Yes — there are several gamified learning platforms that can work reasonably well on shared devices, especially if you need moderation, managed logins, and age-appropriate controls. The best fit depends on the age group and whether you need teacher/admin oversight.

Good options

1. Kahoot!

  • Strong for quizzes and game-style learning.
  • Works well on shared devices because students can join with a game PIN instead of creating personal accounts.
  • Moderation/admin controls are available in education plans.
  • Best for: classrooms, group review games, quick assessments.

2. Quizizz

  • Game-based quizzes with self-paced play.
  • Supports shared-device use pretty well; students can join sessions with simple access codes.
  • Teacher controls help manage content and pacing.
  • Best for: homework, class review, low-friction access.

3. Classcraft

  • More of a full gamified behavior/learning platform.
  • Designed for classroom management and student progress tracking.
  • Good moderation tools, but it’s more complex than quiz tools.
  • Best for: ongoing classroom engagement.

4. Duolingo for Schools

  • Good for language learning.
  • Students can use a shared device and log into school-managed accounts.
  • Teacher dashboard helps monitor progress.
  • Best for: language classes, independent practice.

5. Prodigy

  • Math-focused and highly gamified.
  • Has teacher controls and student accounts managed through class setup.
  • Best for: elementary and middle school math.

6. Minecraft: Education Edition

  • Very engaging and works well in supervised shared-device environments.
  • Strong classroom controls and moderation features.
  • Best for: project-based learning, coding, collaboration.

What to look for on shared devices

When choosing, prioritize platforms that offer:

  • Guest/join code access or easy sign-in with managed accounts
  • Teacher/admin moderation
  • Content filtering or pre-approved content
  • No open chat, or chat that can be disabled
  • Session reset / easy logout so the next user starts clean
  • Device-friendly browser access if installs are hard to manage

Platforms I’d be cautious about

  • Consumer social-learning apps with open messaging or community features.
  • Platforms that require persistent personal accounts without good multi-user handling.
  • Apps without strong moderation or classroom admin tools.

Quick recommendation

If you want the simplest, safest shared-device setup:

  • Kahoot! or Quizizz for general gamified learning
  • Duolingo for Schools for languages
  • Minecraft: Education Edition for supervised collaborative learning

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by age group (elementary, middle, high school), or
  2. a comparison table focused on shared-device safety and moderation.
