Level up at Life. Adulting hits like a tax form: confusing, urgent, and somehow always overdue. Level: Adult turns the boring but essential stuff (taxes, finances, cooking, home repair, navigating bureaucracy) into a structured curriculum you can actually finish. Pick a major. Take quests. Earn XP. Climb from Freshman to a capstone Ph.D. in Having Your Life Together. Become the person who knows how to file a 1099, unclog a drain, and answer the door for the plumber without spiraling, without Googling at 11pm in panic. NOW FREE TO PLAY Free to play, supported by ads. Unlock classrooms with keys: your first four with a quick ad, then more with coins you earn. Premium removes ads anytime. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN 16 majors, 131 books, nearly 700 lessons. Finance, Home & Living, Career, Health & Wellness, Civics, Digital Life, Maintenance, PE, Travel, Brain Games and How We Got Here, plus five new majors: • Practical Science: everyday science you can use • Emergency Ready: fire safety, go bags, when to call 911 • Healthcare Made Simple: insurance, bills, where to go for care • Parks & Nature: hiking, camping, wildlife safety • Start Something: test an idea, price it, find customers LESSONS ARE GAMES Swipe to sort, fill budget jars, build it in order, spot the red flags, pick your path and race the quick fire round while your professor reacts. • The Fix It Lab: fix everyday messes with real science and collect cards • Scenario games: hunt home hazards, pack a go bag, plan a fire escape, make the 911 call, spot medical bill errors HOW IT WORKS • Walk into The Hall, your campus, and fill your keyring • 140+ real life quests, from daily habits to one time wins • 14 stages, each capped with a graduation ceremony • 20 professors, from an old cowboy to a vampire who loves taxes • Life Quests break big goals, like getting out of debt, into guided milestones • Habits, goals, a To Do list, a daily ring, streaks and reminders • Real progress: do the thing in real life, mark it done, get XP FITNESS & WELLNESS QUESTS Turn real movement into XP. Connect Apple Health (optional) for steps, sleep, workouts, distance, active calories, even a heart rate or blood oxygen check. With Premium, quests complete themselves the moment you hit a goal; free players tap to finish. We read it only to mark a quest done. Your readings stay on your phone, never sold or shared. Skip it entirely; the app works fine without it. MADE FOR ACTUAL ADULTS Not childish. Not patronizing. Treats you like a capable person who just never got the manual. The vibe is "earn your degree at being a person," not "7 tips to a better you." Pick what's broken. Fix what's broken. Watch your character grow as you do. WHAT'S INSIDE • A character you build and dress from a full wardrobe • Keys, coins, a Shop, a Backpack and Streak Freezes • A piggy bank that fills as you play; smash it daily with a quick video • 60+ achievement cards • Weekly Leagues: 10 leagues, top 3 move up • Friends, invites that pay you both, the Hall of Records PREMIUM $2.99/month or $23.99/year. No ads, every coin you earn lands right away, keys with no ad (then 5 coins each), 3 streak shields a month, earned gear free, and Apple Health quests that complete themselves. Yearly adds a Gold profile badge. First time members get 15,000 welcome coins on Yearly, 5,000 on Monthly. Cancel anytime. ABOUT Built by BeepBoop Studios, an indie team that just wanted one app for all the grown up stuff nobody ever actually taught us. We never sell your data, and ads are personalized only for adults who opt in. General education, not medical, legal or financial advice. In an emergency, call 911. Adulting is hard. Level: Adult makes it harder to avoid, in the best possible way.
