A quest is not in the child’s list

#
  1. Open parent Quests and check that the quest exists and Active quest is on.
  2. Check the child assignment and repeat schedule.
  3. For Every other day, check First due date. For weekdays, check whether today is a weekday.
  4. Check the device’s local date and timezone.
  5. Sync if another device edited the schedule or assignment.
  6. If work was returned from an earlier period, look for Quests to retry.

The child submitted work but has no new gems

#
  1. Check whether the child’s submission is still waiting to sync.
  2. Open both apps nearby and complete a sync.
  3. In parent Overview, check Ready for approval.
  4. Inspect the work and approve it, or choose Try again if it needs more work.
  5. Sync again and open the child’s app to see the gem award.

A streak or badge did not advance

#
  1. Open the badge or reward and read its named task and criteria.
  2. Check that the relevant completions were approved, not pending or returned.
  3. For a streak, check for a missing local calendar day. Multiple completions in one day do not create multiple streak days.
  4. A bonus gem grant does not count as a quest completion.
  5. If the quest is scheduled every other day or weekly, use a completion-count goal instead of expecting that quest to form a daily streak.
  6. Check whether the quest was paused or deleted. Active stats hide inactive quests; deleted required quests pause dependent goals.
