Patches they earn, not upgrades they beg for.
Real space missions have patches. In Countdown Cadets, every finished mission and every launch your kid watches earns one. The rewards come from missions, never from a parent's wallet.
- 01
Mission patches
Each mission has its own patch, with its own shape, colors and a short story about what it stands for. Patches come in sets by chapter.
- 02
Launch patches
Watch a real launch, tap the "watched it" button, and get a patch made for that launch. The first launch you watch that may be visible from home earns the legendary Home Viewer patch.
- 03
Rare finds
Some patches are rare, and a few are legendary. Finishing a whole set earns bonus credits.
- 04
Steady cadet
Kids count weeks with at least one finished mission. A missed week pauses the count. It never resets to zero.
Earned in missions. Spent on their cadet.
Finished missions, right answers, launch reports and watched launches earn Cosmic Credits. Kids spend them on outfits for their cadet, and with Galactic Explorer, on spaceships in the Hangar.
- Credits can't be bought with real money.
- No loot boxes, no surprise spins.
- Changed your mind? Sell an outfit back for half its price.
- Looking like yourself is always free: skin tones, hairstyles, natural hair colors and glasses cost nothing.
Build your own spaceship.
With a Galactic Explorer membership, kids get a starter ship and use their credits for new ships and upgrades, one part at a time. If the membership ends, the ship stays theirs.
Anything about the membership sits in the Parents area, behind the passcode. A kid's screen never asks for real money. What Galactic Explorer includes.
