Quests and Achievements

Updated yesterday · 1 min read

Quests are practice challenges you create for your students. They add a game-like element to practicing and give students concrete goals to work toward.

Creating a quest

  1. Go to a student’s profile (or the Quests section)
  2. Click Create Quest
  3. Set the quest details:
    • Title (e.g., “Scale Master”, “Practice Marathon”)
    • Target (what the student needs to do)
    • Deadline (when the quest expires)
    • XP reward (bonus XP earned on completion)
  4. Click Save

Quest target types

You can set different types of targets:

  • Days practiced — Practice on X number of days (e.g., “Practice 5 days this week”)
  • Total minutes — Log X total minutes of practice
  • Category minutes — Log X minutes in a specific category (e.g., “30 minutes of scales”)
  • Session count — Complete X practice sessions

Quest templates

For common challenges, you can use quest templates to quickly create quests without filling in all the details from scratch.

Individual vs. studio-wide quests

  • Individual quests are assigned to one student
  • Studio-wide quests are available to all students and create a shared challenge

How students see quests

In the student portal, quests appear on the Practice page and the Dashboard. Students can see:

  • Quest title and description
  • Their current progress (e.g., “3 of 5 days completed”)
  • Deadline
  • XP reward

Achievements

Achievement badges are automatically earned when students hit milestones:

  • Practice streaks (7 days, 30 days, etc.)
  • Level ups
  • Quest completions
  • Total practice hours

Students collect badges on their Progress page, which adds a fun collection element to their practice journey.
