Experience Points (XP)

Experience Points (XP) represent an individual player's progress and experiences throughout the game. XP will be available to all players both in and outside of the classroom. However, XP points do not represent a student's course grade, the curriculum grade and the XP will be kept separate for the entirety of the school year. Out of respect for players, course grades will be kept private while XP will be shared publicly on the game leaderboard.

XP can be scored through a variety of activities, both graded and ungraded assignment completion may include:

• • • performance and quality of Crew Quests, in which students work in small groups to complete in-class activities.

    • completion of non-graded Side Quests displaying high standards or creativity, effort, and quality.

    • Power Up Item Cards awarded to players throughout the game and used during class activities.

    • earning various badges throughout the game; however, the XP amount will be kept secret until the games completion and awarded in May.

    • discovering in game Easter eggs, completion of "classified" Hidden Quests, and other game secrets.

Mastery Badges

Mastery Badges can be awarded to players who go above and beyond to show mastery of content and skills throughout the game. The owner of these badges will acquire unique abilities with each new badge that will help benefit the player or the player's crew throughout the game.

Each Mastery Badge available will have different requirements that a player must meet using specific content and skills learned throughout the year. These badges will be displayed both on this page and on the classroom badge board when they come available. Some badges will be available to earn the whole earn and some will have an expiration date, so don't wait to long to claim them!

Mastery Badges will also offer players XP and possible special items, but unlike Mini Badges, Mastery Badge XP will be awarded once the player has demonstrated all the badge requirements.
