Progress through a Campaign
Open an enrolled class, work through a node's Investigations, Reports, and Engagement, then follow the advance prompt to the next node, Trial, or Rift.

Once you’ve joined a class, the campaign map is where you actually play. Every node follows the same three-phase rhythm — Investigations → Reports → Engagement — and each phase unlocks the next. When a node is done, an advance prompt carries you to the next node, the path’s Trial, or the campaign’s final Rift.
Try it without an account

The campaign loop
-
Open an enrolled campaign
From Home Base, tap an enrolled class in the pink My Parties card. The campaign map opens (

Open a path and tap a node
A path tile shows its number and guiding question (for example, “1. What makes a cell alive?”) plus the path’s mob gem. Tap a node to open it; a Back to Paths arrow returns you to the map.

Complete the Investigations tab
The node opens on a three-tab bar: Investigations · Reports · Engagement. On the Investigations tab, tap Investigate and work through the narrative, media, graphs, and click-reveals to the clue. Finishing every investigation unlocks the Reports tab (the node hits 1/3 complete).

Complete the Reports tab
On Reports, respond to each prompt: text answers submit through the chat field, while scale / choose / rank prompts show the aggregated class results after you submit. Once every report has a response, Engagement unlocks (the node hits 2/3).

Complete the Engagement (node quiz)
Engagement is the node’s mini-quiz — the same questions your Game Master authored. The start card shows a Pass Threshold (70% by default) and gives you 1 heart, with a chance to earn a second. Pass it and you’ll see Engagement Complete! with Replay and Complete buttons.

Follow the advance prompt
A persistent blue band carries a themed advance die. Depending on where you are, it routes you to the next node, the path’s Trial, or the campaign’s Rift — so you always know what to tackle next.

When a tab is locked
The three tabs are sequentially gated — Reports unlocks at 1/3 and Engagement at 2/3 — so you can’t skip ahead. Work them in order.
Navigation error on a node quiz
A node’s Engagement needs a party context to score and rank your attempt. If you reach it without one, you’ll see a Navigation Error (“… requires a party context”) with a Go Home button. Re-enter the node from your enrolled class on Home Base and the context resolves.
What comes after a node
Clearing every node in a path unlocks its Trial (the path quiz); clearing every path unlocks the campaign Rift (the final exam). See Leaderboards & quizzes for how Trials, Rifts, hearts, and the leaderboard work.
