Roll Quests
About & FAQ
Everything about how the game works, in plain English.
How it plays
Train. Quest. Roll. Repeat.
A real adventure with a real jiu jitsu brain inside it.
Quests across six lands
Each belt is a new land with new opponents, from the snows of Whitewood Vale to the Obsidian Citadel.
Battles that feel like rolling
Fight for position, read your opponent's tells, manage your stamina and chain moves into combos.
Learn by losing
Losses level up your techniques and build Grit. Every defeat makes the next attempt stronger.
Battles
It's a fight, not a quiz.
- Position battles
Guard, half guard, side control, mount, the back. Every move takes you somewhere, so you're always fighting for ground.
- Read the tells
Opponents shift their weight or reach for a grip before they attack. React in time and you counter.
- Stamina
Big moves cost energy. Burn it all at once and you're stuck on the bottom.
- Combos
Chain the right moves together, like frame, hip escape, recover guard, for bigger rewards.
Learn by losing
Technique mastery
Use a move well and it ranks up. Lose a tough fight and you still walk away with extra technique XP.

Grit
Every loss to a boss adds a permanent Grit stack, so you come back a little stronger each time.

Bosses
You will lose. That's the point.
The first bosses are built to beat you. Each loss teaches you something, and the Coach drops a hint, never the answer. Figuring them out is the fun part, just like on the mat.
The world
Six lands. One path to black belt.
Every belt is a new land. Plus one island where belts don't matter at all. See the map.
- 1
Whitewood Vale
White belt. Snowy villages and your very first rolls.
- 2
Azure Coast
Blue belt. Harbor towns and a seaside arena.
- 3
Amethyst Highlands
Purple belt. Crystal peaks and giant mushrooms.
- 4
Umber Badlands
Brown belt. Canyons, a dark fortress and the toughest grind.
- 5
Obsidian Citadel
Black belt. Home of the Elite Four.
- ★
Championship Isle
Bonus pro zone. Belt doesn't matter here, only skill.
First stop: Whitewood Vale
A few of the scenes waiting for you in the first land.
Meet the cast
Friends, foes and everything in between.
The Hero
A fresh white belt with a big bag and bigger dreams.
The Coach
Black belt. Says little, sees everything. Gives hints, never answers.
The Wrestler
Takedowns and top pressure. Keep him off you or get flattened.
The Guard Player
Happy on her back. Sweeps and submissions from everywhere.
The bosses: the struggles every grappler faces
Every boss is something real people fight through on the mat. They hit hard, and they're supposed to.
The Spaz Imp
All chaos, no plan. Things change fast when he's around.
Coach's hint: "Chaos hates calm."
The Ego Ogre
Too proud to tap, too big to move. Most players lose to him a few times.
Coach's hint: "Big egos hate being controlled before they're attacked."
The Elite Four await at black belt
Four legends in the Obsidian Citadel, fought back to back. And after them, one last opponent who knows you better than anyone.

Questions
FAQ
How much does it cost?
It's free during the Public Alpha. After that, the first area stays free and the full game is a one-time $3.99. No ads and no subscriptions.
What can I play it on?
Any modern web browser on your phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install. An Android version is coming later.
Who is it for?
White and blue belts who want to learn faster, beginners curious about jiu jitsu, hobbyists who love the sport, and coaches looking for a fun way to help students between classes.
Do I need to train jiu jitsu to play?
No. Everything is explained in plain English as you play. If you do train, it'll help you understand what's happening in class.
Is there a lot of Japanese terminology?
No. Everything is in plain English. The only Japanese words are the few you'll actually hear in an American gym: Oss, Sensei and Kimura.
Does it replace training?
No. Nothing replaces mat time. The game helps you understand what you see in class so you make better calls when you roll.
