What are the two XP icons on an activity?
In general, activities can only be completed twice for full rewards—which are XP and Coins. When a player completes an activity for the first time, one of these XP icons will turn blue. The same will happen when it is completed a second time.
After a player has completed an activity twice, they will no longer receive the full rewards. Moving forward, they will not receive any XP for that particular activity and will receive a smaller amount of Coins.
We do this so that players explore and complete other learning activities. A player will still be able to redo an activity that they’ve already received the max rewards for; they just won’t get the same reward amount.
What is the Available XP toggle for?
The Available XP toggle is a way for players to filter what learning activities still have available XP for them to earn. It's located in the bottom left corner of the Kiosk Menu.
