In the appSparks
In short: learn, and Sparks add up. Want to play or save a streak — spend some of that reserve.
What Sparks are
They are Torah App’s in-app points. They sit in the top bar next to your streak. You cannot cash them out, sell them, or trade them for money — only learn, play, and protect the habit.
Earn by learning
Wisdom of the day, the quiz, the weekly portion. A more meaningful step earns more Sparks.
Spend on a pause
The game, a streak freeze, or Kosher. First a reserve from learning — then play and a safety net.
How you earn
These are the amounts in the app today. Learning can add at most 200 Sparks in one day. Inviting a friend and partner quests sit outside that cap.
| What you did | Sparks |
|---|---|
| 📖Opened wisdom of the day | +5 ✨ |
| 🧠Answered a quiz question correctly | +10 ✨ |
| 🧠Missed a quiz question | +2 ✨ |
| 📜Read this week’s portion (Reading tab) | +25 ✨ |
| 📅Finished one step on the Days tab | +5 ✨ |
| 📋Finished the “one wisdom” quest | +15 ✨ |
| 📋Finished the “three quiz questions” quest | +15 ✨ |
| 🏆Finished every quest for today | +30 ✨ |
| 👥Invited a friend — you and they each get | +100 ✨ |
Partner quests on the Quests tab have their own reward — it is written on the card.
The Reading tab counts once per week. Each Days-tab step counts on its own. A new Sparks day starts at midnight UTC — the same clock as the Weekly Sparks board.
What you can spend them on
| What for | Sparks |
|---|---|
| 🎮One Shabbat Runner run | −100 ✨ |
| 🧊A streak freeze (up to two on hand) | −100 ✨ |
| 💎Kosher for 30 days — the streak will not burn | −500 ✨ |
A run itself does not pay Sparks: the game is a pause after learning, not a way to farm the board. Weekly Sparks counts what you earned, not what is left after spending.
Today’s quests
The home screen has short goals. Two of them pay extra Sparks; the rest are already covered by learning, play, or an invite.
What does not earn Sparks
- Going deeper on the same wisdom card — you already earned Sparks for the thought itself.
- Asking the in-app helper.
- Reading the same weekly portion or the same Day step again.
- The chat newsletter — morning and evening reading happens without the app, and Sparks do not accrue there.
- A home-screen shortcut — that is just a faster way in.
