# Quick Start

## The Gamified Tutorial

The best way to get started with Luna Park is to follow the exercises available in the [Challenge](https://luna-park.app/challenge) tab.

This game-like tutorial will allow you to discover Luna Park's features in a fun and interactive way. You will be able to familiarize yourself with the interface and the basic concepts of the framework.

Each level presents you with a challenge on a particular aspect of Luna Park. Completing it will allow you to unlock other levels and progress in your learning.

## The Academy

Once the challenge is passed, we advise you to go to the [Academy](https://luna-park.app/academy) tab and discover a practical case step by step.

## Try without an account

The [playground editor](https://luna-park.app/editor) works without signing in. Saving stores the whole project in the page URL, so you can share it by copying the link.

## The Cloud Version

Sign up on the [homepage](https://luna-park.app/) to use Luna Park in your browser. Your dashboard lists your projects.
