A 2D creature-catching RPG where every battle is a real accounting question.
CPA Master: Accounting Legends is a 2D creature-catching RPG where every
battle is powered by a real accounting question. It is built for students and accounting associates
alike: complete beginners who have never opened a ledger, students working through their first
accounting class, anyone deep in CPA exam prep, and licensed CPAs already out in the workforce. All of
it is meant to actually be fun. Explore the Accounting World, build a team of 140 creatures, beat 7
Firm Partner gyms, and challenge the CPA Board Examiners, AUD, FAR, REG, and ISC, for a shot at the
Champion and the CPA Master title.

Your creatures
Every creature is its own accounting concept, procedurally illustrated: Assets, Liabilities,
Equity, Revenue, Expenses, Audit, and Tax. Catch them wild, train them in gyms, and evolve them
into the four CPA-exam legendaries as you close in on the Board.

Answer to attack
The battle
There's no side quiz mode. The question is the attack. Pick the right answer to land the hit;
miss once and the difficulty backs off, string correct answers together and it ramps up,
so it's always a fair fight tuned to what you actually know.

About Us
Why a creature-catching RPG turned out to be the cure for a boring flashcard deck.
CPA Master began with a familiar kind of frustration. Studying accounting
usually means flashcards, dense textbooks, and practice questions that never explain why any of it
matters. Somewhere between one more chapter and one more cup of coffee, a different question showed
up: what if studying actually felt like playing? Games already know how to turn repetition into
progress instead of a chore, so instead of bolting a quiz onto a textbook, an entire world got built
where the accounting concepts themselves are the characters you catch, train, and battle.
Every creature, question generator, region, and
line of story here was built from scratch: no templates, no reused asset packs, no shortcuts. It's
meant for students working through their own accounting classes or CPA exam prep, and for anyone
who's ever wondered what a debit actually does instead of just being told to memorize it.
Learning by doing
No separate quiz mode bolted onto a game. Every battle you fight is the studying.
Real CPA content
140 creatures, one per real accounting concept, and questions pulled from the actual CPA curriculum.
No busywork
Wrong answers cost a turn, not a grade. The game adapts to what you actually know as you play.
Team
One person built the whole world.
Justin Wei
Founder & Solo Developer
Justin built CPA Master the summer after his freshman year at the University of
Houston's C.T. Bauer College of Business, where he studies accounting and finance through the
Bauer Honors Business Program. That summer he did not have a traditional internship lined up in
finance or accounting yet. Instead he split his days between a nonprofit consulting externship
with PwC and a market analyst externship with Pauv, learning what the work actually looks like
from the outside in. Whatever hours were left, nights, weekends, the gaps between meetings, went
into this game.
He did not build it to fill out a resume. He built it because he
remembered exactly what studying accounting felt like: flashcards, dense textbooks, and practice
problems that never explained why any of it mattered. So he set out to build something better for
the students coming up behind him, all 140 creatures, every region, every question, by himself.
If it helps one more student actually enjoy studying, or gives one associate a five minute break
that feels less like work and more like fun, that is the whole point of building it.

Features
The systems running quietly behind every battle.
Adaptive difficulty
It reads your last 10 answers
Every fight starts from the difficulty band your badges have unlocked, but it does not stop
there. Struggling eases the next question back toward Easy; answering well pulls it toward
Difficult, a preview of the next gym before you have even earned it.
🟢 Easy🟡 Medium🔴 Hard
Last 10 answers

Weight shown is how much more likely that topic is to come up next.
Weak-spot targeting
It studies what you don't know
Accuracy is tracked per topic behind the scenes. Miss depreciation more than journal entries, and
depreciation starts showing up more often, up to 3.5× more likely, until you close the gap.
Topics you already have down still appear, just less often.
Never-repeat questions
Nothing repeats before its time
The exact same question can never appear twice in a row, and will not recycle for at least 10
questions after that. Among everything eligible, the one you have seen the least always wins,
so brand-new material is served first.

Same question, two difficulty bands. The Hard options sit close enough together that guessing by size stops working.
Sharper wrong answers
The wrong answers get smarter too
Multiple-choice options are not random distractors. At higher difficulty they move closer to the
correct value, so you cannot just eliminate the obviously wrong ones and guess your way through.
Mastery score
A real number, not just wins
Your Progress tab tracks a 0 to 100 Mastery Score blending accuracy, the difficulty you have
actually been handling, and how fast you answer. It is a much better read on where you stand than
a plain win or loss count.

Boss battles that test you
Bosses don't get softened
Firm Partners, your rival, and the CPA Board Examiners all add a difficulty floor on top
of your personal ladder. Even if you have been coasting on Easy, those fights hold you to a real
standard.

Answer to fight
Weaken it with correct answers, then throw a Ledger Capsule to catch it. Wrong answers just cost you a turn, no permanent penalty.

Beat the Firm Partner
Clear each region's gym to earn a badge and open the gate to the next region.

Your rival ambushes you at story milestones. Losing just sends you home to heal up and try again.
Face the Examiners
After all 7 badges: the CPA Board Examiners, Auditor Prime (AUD), The FAR Seer (FAR), Regulatrix (REG), and The Systemarch (ISC). Beat all four, and the Champion match for the CPA Master title awaits.
Saving your progress
The game autosaves after nearly every action to your browser's local storage, and there's
also a manual Save button in-game if you want to save on demand. Sign in with an email
and password from the title screen to sync your save across devices; playing as a guest
still saves fine, just to that one browser.
