How the game works
Levels, HackBox, and AI
Start on the level map, read the lesson, answer the quiz, and earn XP/ByteSilver. HackBox levels are safe simulated terminal labs — never real targets.
Free AI gives small nudges only. Mentor/Lifetime AI gives much stronger hints, methodology, and step-by-step learning help while still refusing illegal hacking.
Meeps, shop, and power-ups
Your Meep is your companion/avatar. Customize body type, skin tone, eyes, starter hair, bought hairstyles, outfits, pants, shoes, accessories, pets, auras, and weapons.
Spend ByteSilver in the shop, buy power packs, equip a battle loadout, then use power-ups in Arena to remove choices, add time, block mistakes, boost rank, or double ByteSilver rewards.
Shop & ByteSilver
Jump straight to buy skin packs or ByteSilver packs.

FAQ
Are my login credentials safe?
Yes. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt — we never store plain text. Google and Discord sign-in use OAuth, so we never receive your Google or Discord password. Card payments are handled entirely by Stripe.
How do I reset my password?
Use Forgot password on the login page. We email a secure link that expires in 1 hour. Google sign-in accounts should use Google to log in.
I didn't get the reset email
Check spam, wait a few minutes, and confirm you used the same email as registration. Join Discord #support if it still doesn't arrive.
How does the free trial work?
New accounts get 24 hours of full access — all levels, AI tutor, coins, and your Byte Meep. After that, levels 1–25 stay free; upgrade for the full map.
Where do I get help on a level?
Use the AI Hint tab inside any level, ask in Discord #level-help, or visit /ai-tutor for the full mentor chat.
How do I get the @Buyer role on Discord?
Link Discord on the site (Settings or sign in with Discord), join the CodeQuester server, and make any purchase. The bot auto-assigns @Buyer if DISCORD_BUYER_ROLE_ID is configured. You must be in the server when you buy (or buy again after joining).
Where do purchase notifications go?
Stripe purchases can post to your Discord #announcements channel via DISCORD_PROGRESSION_WEBHOOK_URL (owner setup). Players see their items instantly on the site — Discord alerts are for the community/staff channel you chose when creating the webhook.
How does the competitive leaderboard work?
Paying or subscribed players sync to /leaderboard. Win ranked arena duels to climb Bronze → Zero-Day God. Top 5 qualify for Grand Tier giveaways; other buyers enter the passive giveaway pool. Free accounts are not on the board.
What is the wardrobe?
Visit /wardrobe to layer hair, outfits, weapons, OP dogs, and up to 2 power-up FX on your Meep. Items you own from /shop equip here and show in arena.
How do coins and the shop work?
Earn coins by completing levels, winning arena duels, and achievements. Spend them in the shop on cosmetics and weapons, then equip items in /meeps. Buy more coins or skin packs at /shop?tab=coins or /shop?tab=packs.
Is this real hacking?
No. CodeQuester is 100% educational with simulated labs. Only test systems you own or have written permission to assess. See /terms for full rules including no exploiting.
What counts as exploiting or cheating?
Coin/XP glitches, bypassing trials or paywalls, bots, API abuse, sharing full quiz answers, or arena match manipulation. Report bugs privately in #support — don't share exploit steps publicly.
