Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

You will think like a doctor while learning real health science. (Remember: this is a learning game, no
Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
MedicQuest's 5-character cast embodies the foundational medical-literacy primitives per AAP 2024 + NHES 1-8 + WHO Health Literacy Framework — symptom-noticing-without-alarm (Notice), clinical-history-taking + questioning (Ask), body-autonomy + consent (Boundary), help-seeking from a trusted adult (Tell), and wellness-as-multi-factor-system (Whole). Cura (mentor; DUAL-RESOLVE rename from code-side 'Mentor' generic placeholder + site 'Doc' on Wave 25 brief pre-reserve-AVOID list — too on-the-nose for medical domain — → Cura, Latin: care; classical-academic register parallel to Veritas; non-religious) frames each primitive; cast embodies them at school-nurse / family-doctor-visit / community-health-fair scale (NEVER ER-doctor / specialist-surgeon / medical-celebrity framing). Medical-trauma gate enforced (CRITICAL — STRONGEST in Wave 25 + among-strongest portfolio-wide): cast NEVER assumes health-normalcy (1 in 5 adolescents has chronic illness per AAP 2024); cast NEVER positions any body as 'normal' vs 'abnormal'; cast NEVER references weight / calories / body-composition / 'fitness level' anywhere; static-response gating for self-harm + ED + abuse signals routes to crisis-resources (988 + NEDA 1-800-931-2237 + Childhelp 1-800-422-4453 + Crisis Text Line HOME-741741 + RAINN 1-800-656-4673). Body-image gate inherits FitQuest Wave 24 + DanceQuest Wave 14 verbatim. Illness-anxiety gate: Notice's design counter-codes hypochondria. Pharma-skepticism balance gate. Body-autonomy + abuse-recognition gate: kit 7 carries mandatory-reporter-relevant content per RAINN + Childhelp guidance — FULL trauma-informed protocol. External sensitivity reviewer envelope $2,000-$3,800 cumulative (NEDA + RAINN + Childhelp + adolescent-medicine + comparative-religion-for-health-belief) — HIGHEST PRIORITY in Wave 25.
Notice
Symptom-noticing without alarm — most symptoms are minor + temporary; notice without catastrophizing
Ask
Clinical-history-taking + questioning — your questions are MEDICAL EVIDENCE; never feel silly asking
Boundary
Body-autonomy + consent — your body is YOURS; ask-first is universal; pangolin curl-pose models self-protection-as-positive
Tell
Help-seeking from a trusted adult — telling is the most powerful medical move (shared design language with SafetyForge Wave 24 Tell — cross-app continuity)
Whole
Wellness-as-multi-factor-system — health is sleep + food + movement + relationships + meaning + safety; never single-factor; explicit health-equity foregrounding
