How do I start my first lesson?
Select “Try a lesson” on the home page. You start with variables, without a questionnaire or a LuaQuest account.
Link to this answerDo I need a LuaQuest account?
You can take the courses for free. Your progress stays in this browser. Existing accounts will be reconnected in a future update.
Link to this answerDo I need to install anything to use LuaQuest?
No. Lessons run in your browser. Roblox Studio is a separate application that you need when you want to practice scripts in a Roblox project.
Link to this answerCan I learn on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Lessons and fill-in-the-blank exercises work in a phone or tablet browser. Native iOS and Android apps are not available yet.

Link to this answerThe lessons
How is the curriculum organized?
The syllabus has 10 chapters divided into units. Each unit groups lessons around a topic. Stars on the learning path represent levels.
Link to this answerHow many lessons are available now?
There are currently 141 playable lessons across 3 chapters. You can browse the syllabus for the other chapters, but their lessons are still in preparation.
Link to this answerWhy are some chapters in preparation?
Their syllabus is defined, but the lessons have not been written and integrated yet. Their first star introduces the chapter; it does not open a finished lesson. No release date has been announced.
Link to this answerHow does a lesson work?
You discover a concept through an illustrated explanation or a small interactive scene. You then practice by filling in code. Echo guides you through the steps.
Link to this answerWhy use fill-in-the-blank exercises?
Prefilled code lets you focus on the concept you are learning. You choose the missing elements without typing a whole script. Repetition helps you recognize the right structure, including on mobile.
Link to this answerWhat happens if I give a wrong answer?
The lesson gives you feedback to help you understand the mistake. You can correct your answer and continue. You do not need to pay to try again.
Link to this answerAre the exercises enough to make a game?
Exercises help you understand and recognize code. To learn to write your own scripts, you also need to practice in Roblox Studio. Studio missions provide preparation, a reference script and an expected result to check.
Link to this answerYour progress
Can I leave a lesson and come back?
Yes. In the same browser, LuaQuest saves your progress and compatible answers from the current lesson. Return without clearing the site data to resume your attempt.
Link to this answerDo I have to follow lessons in order?
On the free plan, you progress in order within each chapter. You can start the first lesson of each available chapter independently. Completed lessons remain accessible.
Link to this answerCan I repeat a completed lesson?
Yes, for free. Select its star on the learning path to repeat it. A completed lesson remains replayable even if you originally opened it with Premium.
Link to this answerDoes skipping a level complete earlier lessons?
No. Skipping gives you access to the chosen lesson without completing the others for you. Only lessons you actually finish are marked as completed.
Link to this answerDoes changing language erase my progress?
No. You keep completed lessons and compatible answers from your attempt. Change language in Settings or with the language control in a lesson.
Link to this answerDo I have to finish a lesson in one sitting?
No. You can stop and resume later in the same browser. Lessons do not require you to finish within a time limit.
Link to this answerComplete Games
What will Complete Games tutorials do?
They will guide you through a game project in Roblox Studio. The aim will be to combine several systems in one project after learning their foundations in the curriculum.
Link to this answerWhich game types are planned?
The catalogue presents six projects: Simulator, Tycoon, Tower Defense, Obby, RNG and Battleground. You can browse their goals and outlines.
Link to this answerCan I start a Complete Games tutorial?
Not yet. All six tutorials are in preparation. You can browse the project pages, but no complete tutorial is currently playable.
Link to this answerCustomization
Which customizations are free?
Classic Echo and the standard background are free. The current five special outfits and five custom backgrounds require Premium to equip.
Link to this answerCan I preview an outfit before equipping it?
Yes. Select an outfit or background in the wardrobe to preview it. You can also use “See in a lesson” without Premium. The preview does not change your equipment.
Link to this answerHow do I equip an outfit or background?
Open the wardrobe with the hat icon, select your choice and press “Equip”. If the selection needs Premium and you do not have access, the button opens the offer presentation.
Link to this answerDo I lose my outfit when Premium ends?
Your preferences stay saved. Actual lessons use Classic Echo and the standard background while Premium is inactive. Your reserved choices become usable again if Premium access is reactivated.
