Progress through a Campaign

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.

The campaign loop

1. Open an enrolled campaign

   From Base Camp, switch to the Party Memberships tab on the party card and tap an enrolled class. The campaign map opens (CampaignScreen) showing the path list and the boss gem; it auto-expands and scrolls to your first unpassed path. Locked paths show a padlock until their prerequisites are met, and path tiles pick up colors from their boss mob.

   

2. 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 the gem itself to battle that path’s mob directly. The node list only shows published nodes (Game Masters see an extra draft affordance for unpublished ones). Tap a node to open it; a Back to Paths arrow returns you to the map.

   

3. 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, fill-in-the-blank clue slots, and click-reveals to the clue — investigations are grouped under D&D-style check headers (for example, “History Check”), and can include a Sources affordance or an inline YouTube player. Finishing every investigation unlocks the Reports tab (the node hits 1/3 complete).

4. 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 — and you can like classmates’ report responses. Once every report has a response, Engagement unlocks (the node hits 2/3).

   

5. Complete the Engagement (node quiz)

   Engagement is the node’s mini-quiz — the same questions your Gamemaster authored. The start card shows a Pass Threshold (70% by default), gives you 1 heart with a chance to earn a second, and now also has the same Difficulty picker as Trials and Rifts (see Leaderboards & Quizzes). Pass it and you’ll see Engagement Complete! with Replay and Complete buttons.

6. 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.

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.
