How Upcome works,
explained for kids.

XP, levels, badges, streaks, Nova the Owl, and daily challenges — everything a young learner needs for the first session. Parents, the parent FAQ is yours.

How do I earn XP?expand_more

You earn XP by completing learning sessions and answering questions correctly. The more questions you get right, the more XP you earn! You can also earn bonus XP from daily challenges and earning badges.

What are levels?expand_more

Levels show how much you have learned! Every time you earn enough XP, you level up. There are 10 levels: Rookie, Learner, Explorer, Achiever, Scholar, Expert, Master, Champion, Legend, and Genius!

How do I earn badges?expand_more

Badges are special rewards for completing goals! You can earn badges by finishing your first session, getting perfect scores, keeping up your daily streak, and mastering subjects.

What is a streak?expand_more

A streak shows how many days in a row you have practiced! Try to practice every day to keep your streak going. The longer your streak, the more you learn!

What does Nova the Owl do?expand_more

Nova is your learning buddy! When you are stuck on a question, click the lightbulb button to get a helpful hint from Nova. Nova can also explain why an answer is correct.

What are daily challenges?expand_more

Every day there is a special challenge for you! Complete it to earn bonus XP. Challenges might be things like “Answer 5 questions” or “Get a perfect score”.
