CalcQuest
See the change — a precalculus→calculus game for ages 15–18. Predict, then drag a dynamically-linked representation (secant→tangent, Riemann strips, sliders on f) and justify — limits, derivatives, accumulation, and the fundamental theorem, geometry-first. Deterministic, on-device.

Meet the cast
CalcQuest's adapted-DN-S cast (ages 15–18, realistic personas — no mascots, per R-OLDER-TEEN-DN-ADAPTED) each embody one curricular primitive; mentor Adaeze sets the challenge and guides reflection.
Vela
Limits — approaching a value
Nayeli
Instantaneous rate of change / tangent slope
Rasmus
Accumulation / integral-as-sum
Thessaly
Function transformation
Ilse
Continuity & discontinuity
Marek
Asymptotic / end behavior
Leda
Optimization / extrema
Maren

Soraya
Sequences & series / convergence

Learning goal
See the change — a precalculus→calculus game for ages 15–18. Predict, then drag a dynamically-linked representation (secant→tangent, Riemann strips, sliders on f) and justify — limits, derivatives, accumulation, and the fundamental theorem, geometry-first. Deterministic, on-device.
Question kits
16 curriculum-aligned kits × 25 questions = 400 questions per app, mapped to recognized standards.
On-device AI mentor
FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.
Mentored by Adaeze — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How CalcQuest handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ No ads, no in-app purchases — you pay once
- ✅ COPPA compliant under the 2026 FTC amendments
- ✅ Parental controls + session limits + content filters built in
CalcQuest 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.
