MirrorMingo games playbook
The Arena is where learners practise what they have just learned, by playing. This playbook explains every game and every reward in plain words: how to play, what you can win, and the exact rules behind it. Every picture is a screenshot of the app itself.

The big picture
- Play a game. Each right answer earns Mingo Sparks, the Arena's reward points.
- Sparks go into your wallet. You can earn up to 60 new Sparks a day.
- Spend them in the Style Lab on outfits, colours, shoes and extras for your avatar.
- Climb the Mingo Ladder. Finishing small goals ("play Word Wheel twice") moves you up a step and pays 10 more Sparks.
- Collect stickers and play with friends along the way.
- On Sundays, Basic 4 to SS 3 learners can play for their class in the class competition.
No real money is ever won or spent on Sparks. They are earned only by playing.
