Adventure Academy review

Adventure Academy is Age of Learning's step up from ABCmouse for older children. It is built as a virtual school world where kids complete quests and learning challenges, level up a character and decorate a 3D home with items earned from activities. The App Store listing describes thousands of activities across math, language arts, reading, science and social studies, built with a curriculum-first approach for grades 2 to 5. Up to four children can play at the same time on one account, each on their own phone, tablet or computer. Because it is social, parents can monitor progress, use filtered chat or block in-game communication entirely. The monthly subscription is $9.99 in the US App Store. It ranks in the lower half because the game layer is heavy, so learning time can slip into customizing outfits, and the chat features need oversight. For pure skill gains, IXL or Prodigy are more focused. We compared documented features and published prices.
