You sign up and consent for yourself. This account is for students aged 18–22; a parent sets up the account for anyone younger.
Why it works
A question bank waits forever. A league table that closes on Sunday doesn’t.
Aptitude prep is easy to put off.
A league that closes every Sunday at 21:00 is harder to ignore than a practice book.
A mock score doesn’t say where you stand.
Your rank among students aged 18–22, and stars in each subject, show your strengths and your gaps.
Long prep sessions don’t fit a timetable.
The daily is 8 questions and the sprint is 60 seconds. Done between lectures.
Leaderboards full of veterans are pointless.
Each week’s league group is about 30 students aged 18–22 at a similar level.
Your day
Short enough to fit before school, college or dinner. Long enough to count.
Every morning
8 timed questions across 5 subjects. The younger the age group, the more time on the clock.
After each answer
Each question shows the right answer and a short explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches something.
Any time
Quick-fire sums and word meanings against the clock. The 3 fastest in the age group make the day’s podium.
All week
Every right answer earns points for the weekly league table, with a little extra for speed.
Monday to Sunday
3 bigger parts across the week, worth double points. It closes on Sunday at 21:00.
Sunday, 21:00
The top of each group moves up a tier, the bottom moves down, and the winner wears a crown for the next week. A new group starts on Monday.
What you practise
No board or class: aptitude subjects, the kind entrance and placement tests use.
How ranking works
A weekly league gives everyone a race they can win this week. The rank is the long game: earned slowly, and never reset.
Every Monday, students are placed in a league group of about 30 from their own age group, at a similar level. At the Sunday 21:00 close, the top 5 move up a tier and the bottom 5 move down (fewer in a smaller group).
The Ado Rank is built from a student’s best 3 subjects and never resets. After 3 dailies it brings a title and a place in their age group.
Each subject earns 1 to 5 stars as the level rises, so strengths and gaps are plain to see.
Badges at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days in a row. One streak freeze a week is free, so one missed day doesn’t undo a month.
The rank card and public profile show the handle, the player’s name if they chose to show it, the league and the rank. Never an age, a school, where they live or a photo.

Questions
Students aged 18–22. A parent sets up the account for anyone younger.
Yes. The daily, the sprint, the weekly challenge, leagues, rank and streaks are free. An optional membership adds more practice sets, detailed insights and member-only looks. Nothing you buy changes a rank.
Quant, reasoning, English, GK and current affairs: the kind of questions aptitude tests use. There is no board or class for students aged 18–22.
Only if you choose. Add your name and it shows beside your handle on your profile, share cards and boards; leave it out and they see the handle alone. There is no chat, and friends are added with a friend code: the other player accepts.

It stays on the family account: on your 18th birthday you agree for yourself, then keep playing. If you want your own account, take it over with a handover code; your rank history comes with you.
Every quiz question is drafted with AI and checked by a person before any student sees it, and no student data is used to write them. The 60-second sprint’s sums and word meanings are computed by code, so they are not reviewed.
In the app’s Settings, any time. Deletion runs after 48 hours, so there is time to change your mind, and you can download a copy of the data first.
Next up: written-answer and art challenges, judged blind by other students the same age and premium contests with their own trophies and certificates. They open after launch.
