FOR YOUR CHILD

More to discover, and a surprise for every unit they master

Every extra changes how the adventure looks and feels, never how a battle goes: no stronger spells, no faster progress.

Surprise rewards

Pick a spelling unit and a look for your child's hero, and add a note. When they master the unit, Quill the owl gives them the look and reads your note out loud. They see nothing beforehand: it's a surprise.

Rewards change how the hero looks, never how a battle goes. Looks you've given stay theirs for good.

The Surprise rewards card on a sample dashboard: a wizard hat for the unit short e, with the note So proud of you. Pizza on Friday!

The full catalog of hats, capes, wands and more, on every hero, in any mix.

Pet looks and costumes

New colors and costumes for the pets your child has rescued, with the same moves.

Seasonal events

Every themed adventure through the year, with the same adaptive spelling words.

Bonus areas

Extra places to explore, and an endgame challenge tower after the story.

Room for brothers and sisters

The free plan has one child. Hero Membership covers up to 4, each with their own hero, words and progress, at one family price.

FOR YOU

See exactly where they're stuck

The free dashboard shows words mastered and time played. Hero Membership shows the why: which sounds and words trip your child up, and what to practice next.

Detailed learning dashboard

Highlights in plain words, tricky sounds with the spellings your child mixes up, the exact part of each word where mistakes happen, spelling patterns with their trends, and how well mastered words are remembered weeks later.

Open the sample dashboard, made from made-up play.

Tricky sounds and tricky words from a sample dashboard: the sounds oo, th and aw with how often each is spelled right, and words like pen and wet with the mistaken part marked.

Printables built from their own play

A practice sheet from your child's three trickiest sounds, with their own words and sentences, and a certificate for every spelling unit they master. Print them from the dashboard.

A weekly email

On Sunday evening, a short note on each child's week: what they practiced and mastered. Hero names and spelling words only, nothing for sale. Turn it on or off whenever you like, and a week without play sends nothing.

Highlights from a sample dashboard: fixed 15 tricky words, 34 new words mastered, short a getting stronger, and 9 in 10 mastered words remembered weeks later.

Questions about membership

How do I join?

Create a free parent account and add your child. Hero Membership is on your family page whenever you want it, monthly or yearly. Offers are only ever shown to grown-ups, never to children in the game.

Is there a free trial?

No trial, but new families pay $2.99 for the first month on the monthly plan, then $5.99 a month. Or $59 a year.

What if I cancel?

Cancel any time on your family page. Your membership lasts until the end of the period you paid for. Looks your child was already given stay theirs; surprise rewards still waiting pause until you join again. We refund on request within 14 days on a monthly plan and 30 days on a yearly one.

Does a child from school count toward the 4?

No. A school child you've added to your family doesn't count, on either plan.

I'm a teacher. Do I need it?

No. Classes are always free, and teachers get printable sheets and certificates free in each student's progress.

Start free. Add membership any time.
