The CodeQuest learning loop

From concept to completed mission

Each stage turns explanation into evidence. Progress unlocks after the learning requirement is complete, not simply when a page is opened.

Stage 1 of 5Concept briefing active
Verified route: Learn then Explore then Practise then Mission then Progress

How it works

Three steps to visible progress

  1. 01
    Choose a pathway

    Start independently or follow the available OCR GCSE route.

  2. 02
    Complete lessons and missions

    Learn the concept, practise it and finish a checked task.

  3. 03
    Earn XP and build progress

    Completed work updates your pathway, level and achievements.

Trust and classroom use

Designed for learning, privacy and accountable access

CodeQuest uses the safeguards present in this repository and states its current limits plainly.

Private by defaultStudent accounts do not create public profiles, and optional analytics and advertising remain off for students.

Scoped teacher accessTeacher tools are restricted to classes and students the teacher is authorised to manage.

Independent curriculum mappingExam-board names identify pathways; they do not imply endorsement.

Accessible by designKeyboard controls, visible focus, reduced motion and public accessibility information are part of the experience.

Access during public testing

Create an account without a payment step

No checkout, paid subscription or approved pricing is configured. Paid plans and school purchasing remain in development, so CodeQuest does not display placeholder prices.
