Sign in with a Google account — that's the only way in, and the only account needed. There's no separate Aura Tycoon password to create, remember, or lose. The app collects a name, email, and answer performance to run the learning loop and the leaderboard; nothing more, and it's never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers. Full detail lives on the live Privacy Policy.
Once signed in, the dashboard has four things to reach for: Missions (start practising), the Weakness Log (revisit what's still shaky), the Aura Store / Inventory (spend and track rewards), and, in Inventory, Get Parent Code — the one-tap way to invite a parent into the Parent Portal.
A Mission is a focused set of practice questions for one subject and chapter — pick the year, subject, and chapter, and the app pulls questions that match.
On the very first question, the timer is paused and a Vault Link is available — read the study material before any pressure begins, instead of being timed from question one.
Every question after that has a shrinking timer bar that rewards quick, confident recall — across multiple-choice, written, and short-answer questions.
A multiple-choice question correct on the first attempt earns 50 Aura Points; other question types earn more. Getting it right on a later attempt still counts — just for half the original points.
Closing the app mid-mission isn't a problem — Aura Tycoon remembers the last position by subject, so it picks up from the same question instead of starting the chapter over.
Every wrong answer is filed automatically into the Weakness Log, organised by subject and chapter — no manual tracking needed. Unlike a normal "revise this" list, nothing is ever deleted from it. Getting a question right again marks it mastered on [date] instead of removing it, so the full history of what was actually struggled with stays visible right up to exam week.
Answer a question correctly, and Aura Tycoon drops straight into a 10-second round of your chosen arcade mini-game. Scoring is performance-scaled — the better the round, the bigger the bonus Aura on top of the points already earned for the correct answer. A weak round never costs anything; it just means a smaller bonus.
A space shooter — dodge and shoot down descending aliens for bonus Aura.
Steer clear of falling meteors while scooping up gems for bonus Aura.
Keep the ball in play with a paddle — every bounce banks more Aura.
3-lane top-down driving — dodge traffic, collect gems and power-ups, survive.
Swipe fast across gem orbs to slice them for points and chain a combo — avoid the red bomb, which ends the round early (score already banked stays).
Tap to drop a sliding block onto your tower — perfect alignment keeps it full width and builds a combo; a total miss ends the round.
Aim, hold to charge, release to fire — a bigger charge means a bigger, piercing shot. Avoid the red Overload Core.
Tap enemies before they reach the Aura Core in the centre — quick knockouts chain into a combo.
Aura Tycoon tracks two separate numbers, and mixing them up is the most common confusion for new players:
The Ranking Leaderboard shows the top 5 accounts by Lifetime XP — because it's XP-based rather than current Aura balance, spending points on a reward never costs a student their rank.
The Aura Store isn't a fixed catalogue the same for every family — it's a reward list your own family builds together, up to 6 items at a time, each with a name and an Aura Points cost you agree on. A screen-time slot, a weekend treat, a small gadget — whatever's worth working toward.
Either a parent (from the Parent Portal) or the child (in the app) can add or remove a reward — it's the same shared list either side edits.
Spending Aura Points on a listed reward moves it into Inventory as pending — the reward itself stays on the list afterward, so it can be earned again.
Nothing is handed over automatically. A student cannot self-approve a redemption — a parent reviews and approves each pending item through the Parent Portal, and it's logged to a permanent redemption history.
The Parent Portal is a separate, password-free page where a parent can see a child's progress and help manage rewards — no parent account to create, and no password of your child's to hold.
In the app, they open Inventory → Get Parent Code to reveal a 6-character code. This is always the child's action — a parent can't trigger it remotely.
The code is meant to be read aloud or typed by hand — nothing sensitive is embedded in it beyond a link to their existing account.
No sign-in, no email, no parent profile — just the code, entered once.
Generating a fresh code instantly invalidates the old one.
No — a student can sign in with Google and start practising alone. A parent's involvement through the Parent Portal is optional, adding progress visibility and reward approval, not a requirement to use the app.
No. Practice questions, Aura Points, the Weakness Log, every mini-game, the Aura Store, the Leaderboard, and the Parent Portal are all part of the free core, and that core stays free.
No. The leaderboard ranks by Lifetime XP, not current Aura balance, so spending points on a reward never lowers a student's position.
No. Redemption always requires a parent's approval through the Parent Portal — a child spending Aura Points moves a reward to pending, never straight into their hands.
No — there's no parent account and no password. The link code your child generates is the only thing needed, and it stays valid until they regenerate it.
