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.

Knot
Riddles (compressed-info puzzles where you decode the answer from constrained clues)
Read chapter →
Switch
Anagrams (rearranging letters to form a different word — "listen" → "silent")
Read chapter →
Lilt
Idioms and figurative language (phrases whose literal meaning ≠ their actual meaning — "raining cats and dogs")
Read chapter →
Hop
Lateral thinking (finding a non-obvious angle on a problem; sidestepping the assumed framing)
Read chapter →
Trip
The rule of three (two beats set a pattern; the third breaks it — the break is the laugh)
Read chapter →
Dry
Deadpan delivery (saying something ridiculous with a calm, serious face — the flat delivery is the joke)
Read chapter →
Boomerang
The callback (bringing back an earlier joke later, when it's half-forgotten — funnier the second time)
Read chapter →
Topper
The topper / escalation (capping a joke with an even bigger one, raising the stakes each time)
Read chapter →
Straight
The straight man / the setup (reacting normally so the absurdity stands out — comedy needs someone to be normal)
