Yup – SPARX is compatible with most browsers on PC and Mac. A SPARX app is also available on Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). If you can, be sure to use WiFi when downloading the app as it’s a large file.

Start by creating an account via the website or app. It’s super quick and easy, just head to our sign up page! Registering an account means we can save your progress and you can continue where you left off as often as you like.

After registering, you’ll be able to jump straight into SPARX. 

From the Unity website:

You might be asked to download a plug-in (special software) from the Unity website – you should not need to do this. First, check that you’re running the latest version of your browser. Second, try using a different browser or clearing the cache.

This depends on your browser and device. Please refer to your operating system instructions (you can find these using a search engine like Google).

If you’re having any issues running SPARX, please get in touch with us on our contact page.

Note: The file size of the SPARX app is approx. 242Mb – check available storage on your device.

In your message, simply provide the following details so we know how to help:

• If you’re based in NZ (SPARX is only available to NZ users)
• Which browser you’re using (Safari, Chrome etc) 
• Device model, like PC, Apple Mac; or mobile device such as phone, tablet, or Chrome Book.
• If you’re on Android or Apple.

Make sure the browser's default display setting is 100%, if not, the game won’t display correctly.

Easy, just make sure other applications aren’t running at the same time; this could cause the programme to freeze or run slowly. It also helps if all other tabs or internet windows are closed, too.

Web version

• Try playing in a different browser (e.g. Safari or Chrome).
• Try closing all other browser tabs before playing SPARX to maximise the computer memory available.
• See if an update is available for your browser.
• Try playing the level again from the beginning or from where you last played.
• The web version of SPARX may not play correctly on touch-based devices (e.g. phone or tablet). The web version is best for an ordinary PC or Mac. Play via the SPARX app if you’re using a phone or tablet. 

App version

• Check that your phone/tablet is compatible – only Apple iOS and Android are supported.
• Ensure you are connected to mobile data or wifi.

If you’re living in NZ but are loading the international page asking you to pre-register for SPARX, your internet IP address might be blocked (VPN).

Try checking if this is the case. If you’re still stuck, send us a message with your IP address. To find this, simply Google “my IP address” and record that number.  

Note: If you’re located in New Zealand, you’ll have free access to SPARX already.
