Research Quest A journey through every information-literacy topic at your own pace — one honest example at a time. 
Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back, spaced so it sticks. All activities
In the research lab
Build the Search Construct a real search: use "must include" (AND), "either of" (OR) and "must NOT" to find exactly the right sources — before you even open them. The upstream research move. Source Evaluator Weigh a source with the CRAAP test — Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose. Every source is made-up so you can practice the judgment, not the facts. Synthesis Studio Group your notes, spot what agrees and what conflicts, and pull the evidence together into one clear, honest answer.
Practice & play
Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. Quick round — a calm sprint Quick recall of ideas you have mastered. Self-paced; turn on a timer only if you want one. Trick Questions Research traps with a twist — spot why a source or a claim does not hold up. Teach the Cast Teach a research move to a cast member still learning it — explaining it makes your own thinking clearer.
Play together
Research Together 2–4 researchers take turns on one device — same questions, and a chance to compare how you weigh a source. Research Quest — the map A progression trail through every kit. Clear each stop of real practice, then move on. Progress Your levels, days active, and how each topic is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the information-literacy topics. Export a CSV or print.
