Streaks, Challenges & XP Bonuses
Stay motivated with daily streaks, weekly challenges, and bonus XP for hitting milestones. Plus, new leaderboards to see how you stack up.
We're adding progression systems to keep you motivated as you work through Project Leap labs.
Daily Streaks
Complete at least one lab per day to build your streak. The longer your streak, the more bonus XP you earn:
- 7-day streak: +10% XP on all labs
- 14-day streak: +20% XP
- 30-day streak: +30% XP + exclusive badge
Miss a day? You get one "freeze" per week to protect your streak.
Weekly Challenges
Each week, we'll release 3-5 challenges that push you to explore new concepts:
- Speed Challenges: Complete a lab in under 30 minutes
- Perfect Score Challenges: Finish with 100% test coverage
- Mastery Challenges: Complete advanced variations of labs you've already done
Challenges reward bonus XP and unlock exclusive cosmetics for your profile.

Why Progression?
Learning is hard. Staying consistent is harder. We wanted to make it easier to show up every day and keep building momentum.
These systems aren't about making learning a game—they're about recognizing your effort and giving you clear milestones to work toward.
When?
Rolling out over the next 2 weeks. Streaks start January 15th, challenges go live January 20th.
Your existing lab completions will count toward initial XP, so you're not starting from zero.
