# ⚔️ DSA Quest

> Progress through Launchpad's DSA Quest levels, earn themed badges and real rewards, and climb Global and College leaderboards as you solve problems.

DSA Quest turns your Launchpad practice into a structured journey. You level up as you solve problems, unlock themed badges, earn real rewards, and see where you stand on Global and College leaderboards, all while building the resume that recruiters actually read.

## Level-Based Journey

DSA Quest is organized as a sequence of levels that scale with your skill. Each level focuses your practice on the next set of patterns and problems you should be tackling, so you always know what to work on next instead of picking problems at random.

* Clear levels with a defined start and end
* Progression tied to the problems you actually solve on Launchpad
* Works alongside the [DSA Sheet](/practice/dsa-sheet) and [Practice Page](/practice/practice-page)

## Themed Badges

Every level completion is marked with a themed badge on your profile. Badges are a visual record of the milestones you have hit inside DSA Quest, and they show up on your dashboard as you progress.

## Real Rewards

Levels are not just cosmetic. DSA Quest ties real rewards to your progress, so consistent practice on Launchpad translates into tangible outcomes.

<Tip>
  Rewards stack with the [Refer and Earn](/community/refer-and-earn) program, which unlocks OA Helper access and 1:1 guidance sessions.

## Global and College Leaderboards

DSA Quest ships with two leaderboards. The Global leaderboard shows how you rank across every student on Launchpad. The College leaderboard shows how you compare to peers from your own campus, which is often the ranking that matters most during placement season.

## Built-In Resume Builder

The in-house Resume Builder is wired directly into DSA Quest. As you clear levels and rack up badges, you can pull that progress into a resume and run it through the ATS Score Checker without leaving Launchpad.
