Parent Admissions FAQ

Decide clearly
before your family joins.

Admissions should be honest and parent-readable: try the free room, understand the beta limits, choose a learning path, then decide whether paid access fits.

Admissions path

Free demo first. Membership only after the family understands the school.

01Try the free demo

Start with one guided STEM room before any family setup.

02Read the school guide

Use the handbook, outcomes, paths, and safety pages to decide whether the model fits.

03Choose a pace

Pick Light, Standard, or Accelerated based on age, stamina, confidence, and curiosity.

04Subscribe as the parent

Open the complete Academy catalog through parent-managed Stripe membership.

05Review first proof

Use the first proof receipt and parent report preview to confirm the child is learning, not just clicking.

Who this is for

The right fit matters more than rushing enrollment

Strong fit

Curious kids who like puzzles, fantasy, science, math, big questions, building, and explaining how they know.

Advanced fit

Gifted or accelerated learners who need deeper reasoning, proof, and future Logic/AI pathways.

Parent fit

Families who want enrichment, visible evidence, and a guided school rhythm rather than a loose game library.

Wait or go slower

Children who are anxious about tests, need very short sessions, or are not ready for reading/listening stamina may start with Light pace.

First month plan

What a sane first month looks like

Parents should not have to imagine the routine from scratch. The first month should be small, inspectable, and easy to stop if the format does not fit.

Week 1Find the fit

Complete the sampler, one member room, and the first parent proof review.

Week 2Build rhythm

Choose Light, Standard, or Accelerated pace and set a small weekly target.

Week 3Make evidence

Have the learner complete a proof artifact or project explanation the parent can read.

Week 4Decide what to keep

Review reports, adjust the path, and continue only if the routine is useful.

Parent questions

Admissions FAQ

Is this a game or a school?

It is a fantasy learning game being built into an enrichment school. The product should stay fun, but every serious challenge should teach first and produce proof.

What ages is it for?

The current beta is aimed at bright learners around ages 8-16, with paths for 8-10, 11-13, 14-16, and advanced learners.

What does the free demo include?

The free demo gives families one unlocked STEM room so a child can experience the teach, practice, evidence, dragon test, and proof record loop.

What does paid membership include right now?

Membership unlocks all learning rooms and includes Study Helper, parent-managed records, reports, planning, a learner passport, and supported cross-device progress.

How does login work?

The sampler is public. A guardian manages paid access to the full school and its private reports, records, and planning tools.

Is this accredited?

No. Dungeon Academy is currently an enrichment beta. It should not be represented as an accredited school or official transcript provider. The accreditation readiness page explains the future path.

What data is stored?

The beta is designed around parent-visible learner records and local/product records. Production child-data collection should wait for stronger consent, deletion, retention, and recovery systems.

How much parent involvement is needed?

Parents should try the demo with the child, read the safety/outcomes pages, choose the pace, and review proof receipts or weekly reports.

What is still beta?

Payments, consent records, legal policies, account recovery, report exports, and broad enrollment tools still need more polish before a wide launch.

What should my child do first?

Play the free demo room, then look at the first proof receipt. If the child enjoys the room and can explain the proof, move to paths and enrollment.

What is still beta

Trust comes from naming the unfinished work

Parent-managed membership

Paid rooms open through a signed-in family account after membership is confirmed. Billing is handled by Stripe; account recovery and support tools still need polish.

Policy work

The safety charter is public, but legal-reviewed privacy, terms, retention, and deletion pages still need final review.

Records in progress

Reports, mastery packets, and transcript-style records are family review artifacts until exports and account controls are production-ready.

Small records beta first

Parent-managed records should stay private until consent, deletion, and recovery flows are stronger.
