XP, levels, streaks and badges
How you earn XP, what the eight levels are, how streaks work, and the badges you can collect.
XP keeps score of the work that actually moves your build forward. You see your level and progress on your dashboard and on the Progress page.
Ways to earn XP
- Finish a lesson, pass a check-in, or get a perfect score on one
- Finish a whole course (the biggest single reward)
- Write a Build Journal entry
- Show up: your first visit of the day, and a bonus for a seven-day streak
- Post in course discussions
- Book a 1:1, join a group office hour, take a cohort seat and attend its sessions
- Post a build to the Bounty Wall, get it approved, and earn claps from other members
- Have a recipe you wrote published in the library
Current point values are on the Progress page.
The eight levels
Outlaw, Lookout, Runner, Wheelman, Safecracker, Fixer, Mastermind and Legend. Free accounts can climb to level 4, Wheelman. Outlaw and Crew unlock the rest.
Streaks
Visit on consecutive days to build a streak. Seven days in a row earns bonus XP and a badge, and thirty days earns another. Miss a day and the streak starts over.
Badges
Badges mark milestones: your first lesson, your first finished course, perfect check-ins, discussion posts, a cohort seat, regular 1:1s, streaks, a shipped build, your first dollar, five and twenty journal entries, and a published recipe. See which ones you have, and which are left, on the Progress page.
