Family & Groups

Family & Groups brings a small number of people (2 to 20 depending on tier) into a private circle where each sees the others' progress. Common aggregated streak, weekly group XP, internal leaderboard, mutual visibility. Not a duel like Battle, not the whole community like a Tournament: here, it's the inner circle.

Two flavors of the same mechanism: Family (max 6 members, designed for parents + kids/teens) and Groups (max 20, designed for Bible study groups, friend groups, informal cells).

What each member sees

In the group space:

• Members: the list, with nickname, avatar, personal streak and weekly XP
• Weekly leaderboard, showing who earned the most XP this week
• Group streak: the number of consecutive days where every member reviewed at least once
• Recent activity, meaning who finished what (verses, badges, quests)

Nothing personal is shared: no private notes, no answer history, no individual response times. Just the aggregate progress you'd see glancing at your spouse using their phone next to you.

Who it's for

Family

Parents who want Bible memorization to become a family topic. The family streak is especially powerful with teens: they don't want to break the streak in front of their parents, and it ends up sparking dinner-table conversation.

Groups

Bible study groups meeting weekly, home cells, friend groups taking mutual accountability seriously. The internal leaderboard stays friendly: no one gets publicly roasted, but seeing Marie has 2,500 XP this week nudges you along.

Difference from Church

The Church space (Church hub) is designed for an entire congregation (50-500 people) with organized clergy. Family & Groups aims at the small circle: more intimate, more responsive, closer to the ground.

You can be a member of a church AND have your own 4-friend group in parallel. Both coexist without stepping on each other.

FAQ

Is it free? Groups of 2-6 members are free. Beyond that, one of the members needs a Disciple subscription or higher.

Can I be in multiple groups? Yes. You can be in your Family group and your Bible study group and a church. Each has its own life.

Can kids under 13 join? With a parent-supervised account, yes. The Family space was designed for this case, with safeguards on external interactions.
