Must-See Prodigy Updates: Fun Features to Boost Learning
All Posts
As we enter this school year, there's probably a lot running through your mind. And helping your child succeed academically to overcome challenges like the summer slide likely feels quite daunting.
That’s why we help make it easier for you to engage your child with math, so they actually want to learn more.
We wanted to make Prodigy Math Game extra fun all year round to promote a growth mindset and help students become lifelong learners. That’s where our special events, videos and in-game features come in. They can make the game even more fun and keep your child extra excited to play (and help them answer more math questions, of course).
Here are some of the latest updates that have been added to Prodigy Math this last year!
In-game festivals
Throughout the year, our themed events bring some festive fun to the Prodigy world.
Each one offers exclusive items, gear and more that players can only get while the festival is happening.
To access these special items, players participate in battles against other characters, where they'll answer math questions to win. Your child should make sure to play lots of Prodigy during each festival if they want new loot for their characters!
Encourage them to join the festivities and let them know what’s coming up in their Prodigy calendars. You can even start a countdown for each one to bring the excitement up a notch!
Encourage your child to log in and enjoy each festival as it comes. Then, use the information in your parent account to see where they’re excelling and where they need more support.
Festivals to look out for this year
1. Fall — Pumpkinfest
2. Winter — Winterfest; Starlight Festival
3. Spring— Springfest; Twilight Festival
4. Summer — Summerfest
P.S. Keep an eye out for Starlight Festival. It's the only time players can get new starter pets without starting a new account. Considering how adorable they are, this is definitely something your child won't want to miss!
Harmony Island
Make sure your math wizards are ready for this one. The Harmony Island Rune Run adventure offers players a new way to enjoy the game like they’ve never experienced before!
Players will explore Harmony Island, where they'll:
- Go on mini-adventures to collect Runes
- Use Runes to power up like never before and become extra strong for upcoming math battles
- Find mini-bosses, extra adventures and discover a whole new way to play Prodigy!
Prodigy Pet Adventures
Has your child ever wondered what their favorite Prodigy pets are up to while they’re logged off?
Our new video series follows the adventures of the Prodigy Pets as they play, explore and make new friends.
Check out what Charfoal, Mermina, Snowfluff, Sproot and Wott are doing in the Prodigy world!
Ice Tower
As one of the new elemental towers in Prodigy, the Ice Tower offers plenty of fun for your child.
In this new quest, your child must battle through 8 floors to help save the Ice Warden. As they immerse themselves in engaging battles against icy foes, they'll put their math skills to the test and show off their magical might.
If they successfully save the Ice Warden, your child might even get some special prizes!
To unlock the Ice Tower, they'll need to complete all Shiverchill quests to obtain the Shiverchill keystone. They can then place the keystone on its pedestal in the Academy and begin their adventure in the Ice Tower.
Mythical Epics
Available to Level Up and Ultimate Members, Mythical Epics gives your child plenty of new quests, pets and rewards to enjoy.
Every month, a new Mythical Epic is revealed. Each Epic brings an exciting adventure, including new math battles to really show off your child's math and wizarding skills. Once the quest is complete, they can have the Mythical Epic join their team!
