Let’s travel to Spain with Zeke and Questa
Zeke and Questa are the main characters in Questa Kids, an online educational game for kids aged 7-12.
The knowledge of the world is in danger, and Zeke’s been sent back in time to fix it. He thinks he’ll be working with world leaders, but the only person who will help him is a girl called Questa, who hates learning. Together they’ll travel through the space and time of different countries, helping people with tasks to collect Learning Tokens. If they collect enough, they might just save the world.
