Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cambridge Play free to play?

Yes. You can play for free with 5 hearts — you lose one each time you fail a challenge, and a new heart refills on its own every 90 minutes. You also get a free daily gift and can earn every badge. PRO removes the limits with unlimited hearts, unlimited daily gifts and premium AI feedback.

Which Cambridge English exams can I prepare for?

Four levels, each with its own endless path of learning zones: B1 Preliminary (PET), B2 First (FCE), C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE). You can switch levels any time — your progress in each one is kept separately.

How do hearts, streaks and shields work?

Hearts are your stamina: you start with 5 and lose one when you fail a challenge; they refill (+1 every 90 minutes). Your streak counts consecutive days with at least one solved challenge, and a streak shield automatically protects your streak when you miss a day — PRO members get one shield per week, restored every Monday.

What are Daily Gifts?

A daily learning gem you claim once per day by spinning the gift reel. It lands on one of seven types — Vocabulary, Idioms, Collocations, Phrasal Verbs, Confusing Words, Connectors or Formal vs Informal — and every treasure you claim is saved to your collection so you can review it whenever you like.

How does the AI grade my Writing and Speaking?

Submit a writing task or record your voice for a speaking prompt and you get an instant score out of 10 plus detailed feedback: what works well, areas to improve, grammar and language notes, and how to make your answer stronger — just like an examiner would.
