Is Season 1 really free?
Yes. Completely free. During Season 1 launch, Discovery Pass badges are open to everyone at no cost. Sign up with your email, download the app when it goes live, and start collecting. No credit card required. Season 2 introduces paid venue memberships and advanced game features.
What's the difference between Season 1 and Season 2?
Season 1 is the badge launch — free exploration, undiscovered hunts, and building your collection. Season 2 introduces paid plans that unlock venue discounts, partner access, the full game layer (characters, familiars, battles), and premium features. Your Season 1 badges, XP, and First Discoverer status all carry over.
What's the platform fee?
Each plan has two components: venue credits (points that pay for your visits) and a platform fee that covers the Discovery Pass app, your game character, AI venue matching, and everything that makes the experience run. The platform fee doesn't convert to points.
How do points work at venues?
When you check in, your points offset the venue's standard check-in price at 1 point = $1 off. If a yoga class is $22 and you have 50 points, you use 22 points and keep the rest. Short on points? Top up at the same rate or save up. They roll over.
Do unused points roll over?
Yes. Points accumulate week to week and never expire while your account is active. Save them up for a bigger experience like a surf lesson or adventure day trip. Points are only cleared if your account becomes inactive.
Can I visit the same venue every week?
Mostly yes. There are no hard restrictions on where you choose to go, but some venues can have cooldowns, and XP gains always have cooldowns. Access and rewards are always subject to availability. Variety is always rewarded.
How does the Wanderer plan work?
Wanderer is designed for people who want to ease in gradually. Your points accumulate weekly until you have enough for a venue visit. In between, you still earn XP through daily logins, boss battles, and free activities like walks and lookouts. Your character never stops growing.
What if a venue costs more than my weekly points?
Since points roll over on every plan, simply save across multiple weeks until you have enough for the experience you want. You can also top up with additional points at the same 1:1 rate at any time.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No lock-in, ever. Cancel or change your plan at any time. Upon cancellation, you'll have up to two weeks to use your remaining points before they expire.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes. Switch plans at any time from your account dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle so you always get full value from your current plan.
Do game rewards give bonus points?
Boss victories, quest completions, and streak milestones unlock exclusive discount vouchers at partner venues, applied automatically at checkout. The more you play, the more you save on top of your member rates.
What's the difference between points and XP?
Points are your spending currency. 1 point = $1 at venues. XP is your game currency. Earned by visiting venues, completing quests, and daily activities. XP levels up your character, never expires, and unlocks familiars, tournaments, and prestige.
