Encouraging students to complete practice questions is challenging, especially with numerous distractions and the capabilities of generative AI. Although there are a variety of techniques and systems for synchronous question answering, these systems are limited in the types of questions that can be asked. Gamification has been applied to help motivate students to practice by using incentives such as badges, bonus marks, and competitions. This work developed an extension to the PrairieLearn system allowing for synchronous question and answer sessions with scoreboards and badge awards as student incentives. A key feature is the capability for automatic grading and including complex questions not easily done by other systems, while still making it fun for students to complete. Student feedback in an upper-year course was very positive with students reporting that it encouraged them to complete the questions.
