Frequently asked questions

StoryQuest is a browser-based STEM learning experience. Each mission drops you into a system that is going wrong, gives you one variable you can change, and asks you to work out what it should be.

No. Every mission works without sign-in, and nothing you do is saved to a profile.

Choose a mission, read what the instruments are telling you, move the control, and commit once the two sides of the relationship agree. Some choices stay locked until the system is genuinely balanced.

It is a real number. Every mission is built on an actual equation with real quantities, and the balance point is solved from that equation. Torque balance answers 2.4 m because 12 kN × 1.8 m equals 9 kN × 2.4 m — not because 2.4 happens to sit in the middle of the slider.

Because the two numbers are the point. You are watching both sides of a relationship respond in their own units, so you can see which way you are wrong and by how much, rather than being told right or wrong.

Yes. The interface is mobile-first, the controls are touch-friendly, and pinch-zoom is never blocked.

Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology: 64 physics, 51 chemistry, 58 mathematics and 49 biology — 222 in total, across 49 different visual labs and classes 1-10.

A study helper on every page. Ask any science or maths doubt — about the simulation you are on, or anything else in school science and maths — and choose how it explains: Easy peasy, Standard or Go deeper. Quiz me writes questions at four levels, from Easy to Challenge — pick from four options or type the number yourself — with hints you can open one at a time and an explanation of every answer. On a simulation it will guide you but will not hand over the number you are solving for until you have found it.

No. It is a large language model and can make mistakes, especially with long calculations. Quiz questions are solved by the model before you see them and checked for a single correct option, but check anything important with your teacher or textbook. The simulations themselves are exact: every answer there is solved from the real equation.

It asks an AI to rewrite the scene around the mission — a different setting, a different crisis. The equation, the quantities and the answer never change; only the storytelling does.

No. StoryQuest supports exploration, discussion and conceptual practice alongside teaching and other learning materials.
