“I’ve used a lot of tech tools, but nothing comes close to the level of engagement with Mission.io. It feels like magic when the entire class is leaning in and working together.”

“If you’re even thinking about trying Mission.io... do it. It’s the easiest yes I’ve ever made as a teacher.”

Test-Drive Mission.io as a Faculty

Before you launch with students, run a mission with your faculty. It’s the perfect way to see the platform in action, spark quality team-building, and get everyone excited about what’s possible in the classroom.

Teachers work together during an engaging mission where they are putting their hands together in a united way as they successfully overcome a challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yep. No credit card, no expiration. You’ll always keep access to the rotating mission library, and we’ll never sneak in hidden fees.

What do you mean by “rotating missions”?

Every few weeks, we swap in new missions we’re collecting feedback on. Think of it like a tasting menu — always fresh, always changing. If you find yourself just wanting it all, reach out and we'll help figure something out!

What kind of feedback do you want?

Nothing formal. Just run missions, and your class’s anonymous usage data helps us refine how we measure skills. If you want, you can also drop us feedback directly inside the platform after each mission.

What happens after the 30-day full access trial?

Your account automatically shifts into the free Contributor account, where you’ll keep unlimited access to the rotating mission set. No pressure, no lockouts.

What if I run out of missions or want one I don’t have access to?

That's the hope! We love scheming with teachers to get kids access to the missions they’re excited about. Our goal is simple: if your students are hooked, we’ll find a way to make it happen.

What technology is required?

To run a successful mission, you need:

  • An Internet-enabled device for every participant (Chromebook, iPad, etc.).
  • A teacher computer connected to a projector or TV (main view screen where the story plays out).
  • An audio system loud enough for participants to hear character dialogue.

No one needs to download anything, and the only one that needs to create an account is the person running it.

That’s it!

Can I upgrade later?

Absolutely. Many teachers start as Research Contributors and then upgrade to unlock the full 100+ mission library. Totally your call, whenever you’re ready.

What grade levels is this best for?

Mission.io is strongest right now in K–8 STEM, where most of our content is directly tied to standards. But any grade can run missions — because every experience builds teamwork, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking skills that matter at every level. High school and beyond still get the same skill development and team-building benefits, even if the storyline isn’t tied to a specific unit of study.

What you doing down here?

Well look at you — scrolling all the way to the bottom like a true overachiever. Thorough. Curious. Maybe even a little suspicious. Honestly, that’s exactly the kind of teacher we love working with.
