How Everything Works

Missions, stars, badges, and saving your progress — explained.

🧑‍🚀 Your Pilot Name

You pick your pilot name once, on the Mission Control home page. It's remembered everywhere — Rocket Math, Word Quest, Logic Lab, and every mission still to come — so you never have to type it again on this device.

Already have a pilot name? Don't try to pick it again on a new device — it'll say "already taken," because it's already yours! Ask a grown-up to check the "For Grown-Ups" section below.

🚀 Rocket Math

Blast off through 10 math questions per mission — addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or Mixed for a bit of everything. Pick a level: Launch Pad, Orbit Station, or Deep Space, each one unlocking as you earn more stars. Answer fast for a ⚡ Lightning bonus star!

📖 Word Quest

Explore sight words and spelling across three levels: Word Harbor, Reading Reef, and Story Summit. Tap 🔊 to hear a word, then spell it letter by letter, pick it from a few choices, or unscramble it. Choose Spelling, Sight Words, Scramble, or Mixed.

🧩 Logic Lab

Solve 10 brain-teasers per mission: guide a robot through a maze, finish a number or shape pattern, or spot which one doesn't belong. Choose Patterns, Odd One Out, Maze, or Mixed. Levels: Signal Station, Circuit Junction, and Command Deck.

Stars & Badges

Every correct answer earns a star, and answering quickly earns a bonus star. Collect enough stars in a game to unlock its next level and its badges. Each game keeps its own stars — Rocket Math stars don't count toward Word Quest's badges, for example.

👪 For Grown-Ups: Saving & Syncing Progress

Each game has a "📡 Mission log" panel near the bottom of its start screen, with three tools:

  1. Her sync link — the only correct way to bring her pilot identity to a new device or browser. Copy it and open it there; it signs that device in as her and pulls that game's saved stars automatically. Retyping her name on a new device will fail, since names are reserved once claimed.
  2. Her progress code — an offline backup of that game's stars, independent of the server. Copy and save it somewhere safe (notes app, email to yourself). You'll only need it if server sync is ever unavailable.
  3. Restore from a code — pastes a saved code back in. This overwrites whatever is currently saved in that game on this device, so only use it when deliberately recovering a backup.

💬 Quick Questions

Why does it say a name is "already taken"?

Pilot names are reserved once someone picks them, so two kids can't accidentally end up sharing progress. If it's her own name, use her sync link (see "For Grown-Ups" above) instead of retyping it.

We got a new tablet or a different browser — how do we keep her progress?

Open her sync link (from any game's Mission log panel, on her old device) in the new browser. Then just visit each game once on the new device — each one pulls in its own saved stars automatically.

Do Rocket Math, Word Quest, and Logic Lab share stars?

No — only the pilot name is shared. Each mission keeps track of its own stars, badges, and unlocked levels separately.
