CompassQuest
Explore your community with Cardi the cardinal — maps and directions, wants and needs, fair rules, timelines, and taking action — read aloud, for grade 3 (ages 8–9).
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, 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.

Meet the cast
CompassQuest is a grade-3 social-studies adventure through friendly, made-up communities — reading maps, trading under scarcity, setting fair rules, ordering timelines, asking good questions, and turning what you learn into helpful action. Cardi the cardinal is the hero; keeper Mayor Cobb never shames a wrong guess. Non-partisan and always read aloud.
