Characters who teach
Meet the cast
ForgeArena's characters are the people at a quiz match: Champ the host, a scorekeeper who treats points as a sign of growth, a fair referee, a commentator who cheers great moves, and a worthy opponent who shakes hands after. Losing is never about who you are.

How ForgeArena handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
ForgeArena runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
