What Are BloomBoard Micro-Credentials?

Micro-credentials are a form of micro-certification earned by proving competence in one specific skill at a time, via a portfolio of evidence, created through classroom practice. Individual micro-credentials also form the basis for a cohesive system of skills that enable educators to grow and advance throughout their careers. ​BloomBoard has created a comprehensive system of […]

What are ProGames?

ProGames is a 3-week online competition to earn a BloomBoard micro-credential. Here’s how it works: Choose the micro-credentials for student-driven learning that you want to earn. Log into the ProGames game board. It will lead you through the 3-week learning experience. Some days you’ll complete a micro-credential step. Other days your goal is to post your work, give points to other […]

How many subscriptions should we get for our family?

It depends! If you’re using Brain Chase for the fun of the Escape Rooms, you’ll be fine sharing one subscription in your household. But if you’d like to motivate several children to make personalized progress in different academic areas (i.e., Math, Reading, Music Practice, etc.), we suggest creating multiple Adventurer licenses.

Can I change my subscription option?

Yes! You can pause, cancel, upgrade, downgrade, or restart your subscription at any time. Please contact us at info@brainchase.com to manage your subscription. Note, we do not provide refunds for canceled subscriptions.

It will be animation-based, with a real treasure somewhere on the planet. Everyone must complete learning electives, and the same eligibility requirements will apply. Winners will still win a trip […]

Can we work together with other families?

Yes! There’s no reason not to collaborate with other families and teams. There are no rules about sharing hints, clues, or even solutions – the only rule is that the students must complete their own academic work.

Why isn’t Brain Chase free?

Brain Chase isn’t a free online app or video game. But it’s not a $600/week summer camp, either. As one customer put it, “Brain Chase is a multi-faceted learning experience that beautifully straddles the virtual and physical worlds.” Each program may vary slightly, and your experience will vary based on the package and electives you choose, […]
