Gamelearn is a company that creates graphic adventure video games played to learn soft skills.

Gamelearn has launched three serious games:
- Merchants is played to learn to negotiate.

At present, Gamelearn has over 600 corporate, governmental and not-for-profit clients.[8][user-generated source?] Clients are located throughout the world.[9][10]

- The content of a complete course
- An online simulator, requiring the skill being learned be practiced
- A video game
