@Mythbadger I am sure the staff has better answers then I but I believe from what I read so far I might have some answers:

_ **1. What is the difference between the free mode and the course mode in terms of levels available?** _

- I think the course mode gives access to specific levels and training material so that when in a teaching environment the students are following a specific course of levels. If there are level overlaps, specific teaching levels not available without the course mode I am not sure.

- The free mode _currently_ allows one to access 5 campaign worlds with over two hundred levels. As well as 4 additional Campaign worlds for Web Development and Game Development

&nbsp;

_**2. if students sign up as part of my class (and join the course mode), can they still access the free mode**_

- Yes. Free mode should be available period. I don’t see any reason why one would not be able to play the free levels.

&nbsp;

_ **3. As a student in the course mode, can they sign up for the “Adventurer” option to play test levels?** _

- This one has confused me as well. From what I can gather the “signup” might be a checkbox that requests level emails when new levels are being developed. But I have not seen any level content in my inbox.

- **Anyone can play test levels anytime.** To be an “Adventurer” follow facebook/twitter and the forums **Artisan** posts for new level submissions that are available. And just play them posting or messaging thoughts after you are done.

For example this is a post from someone submitting comments on a level: [Burlbole Grove - adventurer feedback](https://discourse.codecombat.com/t/burlbole-grove-adventurer-feedback/7494)

I don’t see where there is any registered group of adventurers, it feels more like you just perform such a role and contribute.

- The same applies for the [other roles](https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat/wiki) defined on the wiki. Just start helping and posting to the forums.
