Question 1

I've never written code before. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The first course, Learn Python, assumes you know nothing at all. It starts with your very first print() and builds up from there.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Pre-registering is free and so is the closed beta. We'll announce pricing for the full release before launch.

Question 3

What do I need to play?

Accepted Answer

Just a modern browser. There's nothing to install, since your code runs in a sandbox inside the browser. The project courses use the free benkyu CLI, so you also learn to build on your own machine.

Question 4

When can I play?

Accepted Answer

The closed beta is planned for 2026, and people who pre-registered get invited first.

Question 5

What languages is it available in?

Accepted Answer

English, Japanese, and Chinese.
