Scope RPG

Getting Started ​

A quick tour of your first steps with Scope. Most of the real action happens once you've set up a couple of habits, so this guide gets you to that point fast.

Welcome to Scope

Creating Your Account ​

You can start with an anonymous account or a full registered one:

  • Anonymous - no email required. You can use almost every feature, but you can't appear on the leaderboard, upload a custom profile picture, or publish premade habits. Upgrading later is always possible.
  • Registered - email + password, or sign in with a provider. Unlocks everything.

Either way, the first real step after account creation is picking a class.

Choosing an Avatar Class ​

Scope prompts you to pick one of four avatar classes - Knight, Wizard, Archer, or Rogue - before the app lets you into anything else. It's a permanent choice, so take a moment with it.

  • Knight if you identify with steadiness, reliability, and grinding through the hard thing.
  • Wizard if you lean into research, learning, and careful planning.
  • Archer if you live by one-focused-goal-at-a-time.
  • Rogue if adaptability and speed of thought are your edge.

Each class has a distinct combat identity. See Avatar Classes for the full breakdown.

Setting Up Your First Habits ​

Habits are the core of everything. Even a handful of simple habits kick off most of the app's mechanics:

  1. Pick one or two good habits - things you want to build. "Go for a run", "Meditate for 10 minutes", "Read a book before bed."
  2. Optionally, pick one bad habit - something you want to stop. "Stop scrolling at night", "Avoid junk food after 10 PM."
  3. Set each habit's category, schedule, and unit. See Creating a Habit.

Every good habit spawns a soldier companion who fights for you. Every bad habit spawns a demon you aim to starve out. The habits are doing two jobs at once - tracking your consistency and building your in-game roster.

Start small

Three or four habits you can realistically keep beats ten you half-ignore. You can always add more later as slots unlock.

Exploring the Adventure Board ​

Once you've logged at least one good habit, the Adventure Board opens up for you. Every good habit completion today grants a quest pass you can spend on a quest.

Your first quest is the quickest way to see how the combat loop works. Start with one of the short boss-only quests to get a feel for the flow.

Writing Your First Journal Entry ​

Journaling is Scope's reflection tool - and it unlocks an unexpectedly big daily reward. Writing any journal entry today grants:

  • XP and silver.
  • Four free arena tickets (a full day's worth of PvP).
  • Potentially a real-life stat bump via AI analysis on daily entries.

A two-sentence free-write is enough to unlock the whole bundle. You don't have to write an essay.

Where to Go Next ​

Once you've got your first habits, completed your first quest, and written your first journal entry, the rest of the app opens up:
