...and a whole lot more
All in your browser, all in a real codebase
Build a Real App
Throughout the game, you’ll work to build a full stack web app with your team of 8-bit co-workers.
Write code in your browser to complete tasks, test your coding skills, and play through a fun storyline!
The game's storyline revolves around EPICS, which follow the dev team as they build out a new big feature in the app.
Epics contain SPRINTS, which implement one part of the larger feature.
Sprints are made up of TASKS which are small coding challenges that chain together and give the player XP.
Test Your Skills
Each task will challenge your skills in one or more areas of full stack web development.
Tasks start off easy and get progressively more difficult as you level up.

As they complete tasks and gain experience, players level their avatar from 0 to 20.
Depending on what the player wants to practice, there's multiple paths through the game.
One player might focus entirely on frontend development, styling and UI building, while another might go the backend route and build out API endpoints and work with a database.
