FAQ

Common Questions

What are Synthesis classes?

Synthesis Classes are short, time-limited, live online experiences where students work together on game-based challenges. Each class centers on a particular theme, from communicating under pressure to solving a demanding team challenge. Students think, experiment, make decisions, and reflect with guidance from a Synthesis coach.

Most classes take place over a weekend. Check each listing for its schedule and participation requirements.

Who are Synthesis classes designed for?

Our standard classes are designed for students ages 8-14 who are comfortable communicating in English and ready to participate independently with teammates. Students should have basic computer skills, such as using a keyboard and mouse or trackpad and navigating a browser.

Your child doesn't need to be outgoing or confident to begin. They do need to be willing to participate, try new things, and work with others.

Some classes welcome beginners; others require experience with a particular Synthesis game. Check each listing for its age and experience requirements, including any special event exceptions.

Does my child need previous Synthesis experience to join a class?

It depends.

Some classes are designed for students who are new to the featured game, while others build on previous experience with that game. Classes marked "Open to all" welcome students at any game experience level.

Experience is specific to each game. Your child may be ready for an advanced Polis challenge while still being a beginner in Hyperball. Check the requirements on each class listing before enrolling.

What are the technical requirements?

For the best experience, we recommend using a laptop or desktop computer that meets our minimum technical requirements. iPads are also supported using our official app.

Phones and Android devices are not supported.

Before class starts, please check that your device meets our minimum specs. You can find the full, up-to-date details here: Minimum Tech Specs.

Do you offer a discount for purchasing multiple classes?

Yes. Our multi-class discount is automatically applied when you purchase three or more classes. You can choose any combination of individual and family plans. Each student must meet the requirements for each class.

The discount may vary. Check the current offer for the available savings and any applicable terms.
