How to play a Mission
In each Mission, the page will usually be broken down into 3 different sections, these are:
- Description/Instructions: This will always be on the left-hand side of the page and will give a brief description of the mission and a list of steps to follow to complete the mission.
- Application Preview: This is the middle panel, which is an interactive view of the application. For example, you might see a simulated front-end interface for a website, or an interactive API wxplorer for API-related missions
- Code Base: This shows the source code, giving you the context you need to understand how the application works.
In this article, we will use an easy mission on Missing Function Level Access Control.
Step 1
Navigate to the Mission you want to play.
Note: Missions are available in Quests, Courses, Tournaments, Explore, and Learn
Step 2
Review the description and instructions to understand the mission's goal and the sequence of taks you'll need to complete.
In this example mission, the first task is to log in using the username and password provided in the instructions.
Click the username or password to automatically copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into the username and password fields in the login form in the middle panel.
Once done, the step will be marked as complete
Step 3
The next task is to investigate the menu to identify any items that may be hidden and navigate to that hidden page. You can do so by reviewing the code in the right-hand panel.
Some tasks offer hints; just click the "Get hint" button if you need additional assistance

Once you've completed all the tasks, the mission will be marked as complete, and you will receive the confirmation message below.
