One product, two ways to pay, and no monthly plan.
A season is eight weeks and it is bought once — nothing recurs. A year is a subscription that covers five seasons with breaks between them. There is no monthly option, deliberately: a month does not divide into an eight-week season, and the moment a monthly plan would lapse is the middle of a three-week project.

What eight weeks contains
24 to 40 short sessions
Three to five a week, five minutes each. Each one installs a single thinking concept, and it is always installed before the week needs it.
16 conundrums
Two a week — one that takes twenty to forty minutes, and one that takes five and carries the week on its own. Four kinds, rotating.
Three physical projects
Two long, one short, a step each week, all from ordinary household materials. Two of them have a step designed to collapse.
A script for every activity
Word for word, including where to stop talking. You are not asked to invent the conversation at nine at night.
A record of what your child made
Photograph the work, and the week counts as done. The material is read back and turned into two or three questions about that specific piece — which you also get as a script.
Three finished things, and the reasons behind them
At the end of the season: the objects, the guesses your child committed to before finding out, and the record of which weeks they did.
The first 100 families pay half
This is a price, not a club. There is no badge, no list of names and nothing to join — it is a cheaper line on the payment screen, available until the seats run out.
In return we ask for two pieces of feedback: one mid-season, one at the end. That is the condition of getting the price, not an ongoing test: once both have arrived, the discount is yours and we stop asking.
The half price holds for as long as you keep going — while a yearly subscription runs, or while you keep buying each season as it opens. Skip one, or cancel, and it ends. Season 0's pilot families take the first twenty seats.
How the billing actually works
A season is a one-time purchase
Not an eight-week recurring charge. The arithmetic is why: a year holds five seasons of eight weeks, not six and a half, and an eight-week subscription would keep charging through the gaps between them. Nothing renews on its own — when a season ends, you decide whether to buy the next one.
A year is a real subscription
Billed once a year, renewing until you cancel, and it says on the tin what it covers: 5 seasons, 40 weeks of material, with breaks between seasons. The gaps are deliberate — they are what keeps a season clear of the holidays.
Buy whenever, start on the date
Seasons run as cohorts on fixed dates. Paying gets you Week 0 and any finished past season straight away; the season you bought unlocks one week at a time from its published start date.
Paddle charges you, not us
Paddle.com Market Ltd is the merchant of record: it runs the checkout, handles sales tax where it applies, and its name is what appears on your statement. Prices here are in US dollars before any tax Paddle has to add, which it shows you before you pay.
If it turns out not to be for you
30 days from the day your season starts, in full, no reason needed. The window runs from the day your season starts rather than the day you paid — seats open about two weeks before the first week unlocks, and buying early should not cost you part of your own trial.
