NEW RECRUIT — FILE NOT YET OPENED

Find the level your child should start at.

Fourteen questions taken straight from the missions themselves — patterns, broken machines, code, a case to crack. It adapts as it goes: get one right and the next gets harder.

At the end you'll see which of the three clearance levels fits, which thinking skills are already strong, and which one the first week should work on.

Best done together. Read the questions aloud for younger recruits — it's their thinking being measured, not their reading.

What happens next: the 7-day missions

Seven days, one mission a day, about 15 minutes each. It's free — no card, nothing to cancel.

  • An email lands each morning with the day's briefing — a story that carries on from the day before, not a worksheet.
  • Each mission is a puzzle chain — a code, a broken machine, a case to crack. Print it or do it on screen.
  • The missions open at the clearance level this assessment just set, so day 1 lands at the right level straight away.
  • Finish all seven and they're ranked Special Agent, with a certificate to print.

Where should we send the result?

The full skill report and clearance level come through straight away, then day 1 of the mission.

Seven skills, scored

Each skill was tested twice, adapting after the first answer. Nothing here is a school grade — it's a starting map.

Seven days. One mission a day.

  • DAY 1 Pattern Recognition — the signal in the noise
  • DAY 2 Scientific Thinking — testing what's actually true
  • DAY 3 Engineering Design — build it so it doesn't fall
  • DAY 4 Computational Thinking — instructions a machine can follow
  • DAY 5 Mathematical Problem Solving — the numbers behind the machine
  • DAY 6 Critical Thinking & Logic — the case, and who's lying
  • DAY 7 Project Zero — everything at once
