Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
Mentored by Cura
#81C784 MedicQuest lets you run your own medical clinic! Diagnose patients by checking their symptoms, learn first aid, explore the human body system by system, and investigate disease outbreaks on a map. You will think like a doctor while learning real health science. (Remember: this is a learning game, not real medical advice!)
Characters who teach
Meet the cast
MedicQuest's characters each teach one part of understanding health. Notice spots symptoms without panicking, Ask knows that your questions help the doctor, Boundary teaches that your body belongs to you, Tell knows that telling a trusted adult is the strongest move, and Whole sees health as sleep, food, movement, and friendships together. Framer, Sentry, Mote, Rally, Triage, Balm, and Dram cover how the body works, healthy habits, germs, the immune system, what needs help first, rest, and taking medicine safely. Cura is the mentor who guides them.
