How the quests work

Each Quest contains four to seven missions, each with a distinct purpose and mechanic. Every mission follows the same learning loop: discover the situation, investigate the information, make a meaningful decision, see the consequences, learn why the outcome matters, try again where useful, and apply the skill somewhere new. Quests use a mix of branching scenarios, simulated feeds and chats, evidence boards, sorting activities, fact-checking, case studies and reflection — never the same mechanic twice.

There is no requirement to complete all 12 quests. Each quest is standalone and awards its own badge and certificate.
