- How marvelous it is that people all over the world have collaborated to create this unique resource,
- How important sharing knowledge is,
- How people working together over time can do amazing things.
Hope that was an inspiring musing :)

Feedback
The interactive game had some good examples of how to cite and edit pages. It was much to simple for a beginner though
- What I liked
- Once I got the hang of it the going was smooth.
...The page was never lost. I could always go back to user talk page and click on where I left of in the mission.
- What I didn't like
- The initial instructions could be more clearly defined
...Nothing really. Just theme was childish.
- What I wanted more of
- More practice so as to feel more comfortable
...Citing references and also section editing.
- What was unnecessary
...more practice with exterior links.
- Any other thoughts you want to share
...If it were any easier I wouldn't have learned a thing.

Why a blue rodent with antlers?
I like rodents but why is there one in the welcome message? Is this the mascot? Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:04, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- I think this is supposed to represent an alien, specifically Will, as the whole theme is an interstellar meeting about finding out about Earth. Kitty 56 (talk) 23:29, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Feedback
- What I liked
It teaches you how to use the editor and some of the basic rules you need to know to be an asset to Wikipedia.
- What I didn't like
This really doesn't need to be 7 missions. The name "adventure" makes it seem like it's going to be some crazy wild ride through a bunch of portals, where we would learn lots of cool new stuff as we learn to use Wikipedia, but we end up with something fairly underwhelming.
- What I wanted more of
Why not just make the course "Wikipedia for beginners" and then quickfire teach people how to use the editor: editing text, using sources, referencing the sources, etc. And then once people know the basics, take them through a bunch of easy portals. Like animals and plants, food, hobbies, etc. Give them experience editing a wide array of topics and then let them loose.
- What was unnecessary
The badges :/
- Any other thoughts you want to share
The music and the art were cool. The NPCs? were also pretty fun to read. --Singdavion (talk) 20:02, 18 January 2015 (UTC) I liked the badges they kept track of my progress. It took me awhile to understand about the sound recordings. I got confused after Mission 7.Lbhiggin (talk) 00:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Feedback
- What I liked
... Very simple and easy to follow. A lot to learn and absorb
- What I didn't like
... Nothing really. Some of the editing process is not so familiar as with other text editors.
- What I wanted more of
... Practice.
- What was unnecessary
... Nothing
- Any other thoughts you want to share
... I just look forward to becoming part of the community and sharing my well of useless knowledge. ;) --Kaphoen (talk) 09:30, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

- What I liked
Perfectly designed for new-users. It teaches new user the basic techniques in editing and some basic policies and is very user-friendly
- What I didn't like
Instructions is a little bit confusing in Mission 1.
- What I wanted more of
More complicated staff. These missions are a bit too basic. Many things are left unexplored
- What was unnecessary
N/A
- Any other thoughts you want to share
The adventure needs more promotion. Many new users will not know the adventure exist unless they were welcomed by that particular template. My suggestion is that the project can send a talk page message to new users, similar to the Teahouse message.
