How it works
Your child's journey, from the first sign-up to flying a space jet round Saturn.
-
Parent, 3 minutes
A parent signs up
You type your first name and email, your child's first name (no surnames), their school year (Year 2 to 6) and school. You confirm your email with one click.

Child, once
A picture password and an avatar
Your child picks 4 secret pictures (a horse, an ice cream, a rainbowβ¦) to log in with, so there's no password to forget. Then they make their avatar: girl or boy, hair, clothes, hats, sunglasses, t-shirt designs. Every outfit is free.

Child, 20 to 25 minutes, Monday to Saturday
Brick Academy: the daily quest
A map of stops to do in any order: a warm-up, maths, spelling, grammar, reading and an explore stop, matched to their school year. Then the Boss Brick brings back every question they got wrong, until it's right.
- Wrong answers show the right one and a clear explanation, then a different question on the same idea.
- The clock only counts real work: it pauses when nobody's tapping.
- Rushing doesn't work: lots of quick wrong guesses means a kind "slow down", then starting again.
- The same mistake twice shows a Fix-it card with the trick. Stuck on it for days? It asks your child to ask a grown-up.
- Sundays are free.
-
Child, the time you choose
Building time: 30, 45 or 60 minutes
Example: a parent chose 45 minutes. You can pick 30, 45 or 60, and give extra time on special days.
A small clock in the corner shows how much building time is left. There's a friendly warning at 5 minutes and at 1 minute, then "See you tomorrow!" with ideas for what to do next.

Child
Build anything (with a little maths)
Open a menu, pick something to build, and two doors appear, each with a sum. Pick a door, answer it right, and the thing goes into your treasure chest. Then place it anywhere: on the grass, on a table, even inside a house through the window.
- Town (division): houses, hotel, burger bar, tower, planetarium, rocket centre, race tracks, a secret denβ¦
- Garden (adding): trees, flowers, pools, fountains, a bouncy castle.
- Objects, Food, Furniture and Clothes: pets, bikes, DJ decks, beds, kitchens, slides, outfits.

Parent, 2 minutes
Your report arrives
After each quest you get an email: how it went (green, amber or red), scores by subject, the questions that went wrong and why, the mistakes that keep coming back, and what tomorrow's quest will practise. See an example.

Child, Fridays
Friday awards
Five quests in a week earns a Gold Trophy, four a Silver Medal, three a Bronze Medal, each with a note. They go into the treasure chest to put on a shelf in their house.
What they can do in their world
Walk inside houses
Modern houses with stairs, rooms and lights. Build furniture, then put a lamp on a table.
Walk, jump, swim and fly
Fly like a superhero, fist out in front. Swim in the canal and dive to see fish and coral.
Go to space
Put on an astronaut suit, launch from the rocket centre and walk on the Moon.
Fly the space jet
Pick a planet and a speed at Mission Control. Galaxy milkshakes on Mars, lookout stations on Saturn.
Planetarium shows
Sit down for a full solar-system show, with facts and sizes compared to Earth.
The bear family
Three bears fish in the canal. Sneak into their treasure cave while they're out, and don't get caught!
Grand Prix race tracks
Whole circuits with figure-eights and ramps over the canal. Drive cars and limos.
Pets and riding
A pet capybara that explores and naps. Ride a trotting horse, bikes and scooters.
Slides and bouncing
A splash slide park, corkscrew slides, and a bouncy castle that bounces you higher and higher.
Secret places
A Secret Code House with a keypad, a hidden den under a carpet, a secret weather room.
Change the weather
Sunny, sunset, rain, snow or rainbow.
Build together
Up to 10 friends in one world, building together. Only parent-approved friends.
VR headsets too
Works on laptops, iPads and phones, and in a Meta Quest headset with a floating menu board.
Emoji balloons
The only way to 'talk' to friends: emoji balloons that float up and pop into confetti.
