When you play as a guest, your progress lasts until you close the browser tab. To keep it, create a free Beyond Payday account. The lessons you finished on this visit are saved to the new account, and from then on every lesson saves as you finish it.

Steps

  1. On a lesson page, choose Save it free in the guest note at the top, or Save my progress, free on the finish screen.
  2. Pick your birth month and year, then choose Continue. We ask everyone, and we don't save the answer.
  3. If you're 18 or older, we take you straight to sign-up. Create your free account. If the sign-up page doesn't open on its own, choose Continue to sign up.
  4. Once you're signed in, Beyond Payday saves this visit's lessons and shows Your lesson progress is saved.

How it works

  • Guests: progress stays in the open tab only. Nothing about it is sent to us until you save it to an account.
  • Signing up in a new tab: if the email confirmation link or a Google or Apple sign-in opens a new tab, your finished lessons still carry over. For adults, the list stays on that device for up to 2 hours, and it's cleared once it's saved or when you sign out.
  • Signed in: every lesson saves to your account when you finish it, whether you play on the public lesson page or inside the app. Open Learn (opens in a new tab) to see Keep going, Your tracks and your Certificates.
  • Best result counts: replaying a lesson keeps your best stars and best quiz score.

Good to know

  • Teens (13 to 17) join through a parent's account. A parent adds them in Settings, Family tab, and sends an invite. The age screen offers Show this to a parent to share a link that asks.
  • Kids under 13 never sign up. A grown-up keeps their lessons with Kid Mode. See Lessons for kids and the grown-up hand-off.
  • New accounts get the normal free trial. Learning Center lessons stay free on every plan.

FAQ
