A full video walkthrough is coming soon. Until then, this page is the tour.

## 1. Open HQ

HQ is home base: Trials, Store, Terminal, Global Chat, Daily Missions, Leaderboard.

## 2. Run Practice, then use a Key

Open Trials from HQ. Run a Practice Trial first so the format is familiar. Then use a Key to play a Trial that can win a Life.

1. Choose Practice and play the full 15 minutes. It costs nothing, ever.
2. When you are ready, use a Key and start a Trial.
3. Read the briefing. Your Key is spent when the Trial starts, and the Key is the most that run can cost you.

Finish #1 to earn a Life. Everyone still gets [Your Grading](/docs/playing-a-trial/your-grading.md). Win rules: [How to win](/docs/playing-a-trial/how-to-win.md). Details: [Practice Trials](/docs/playing-a-trial/practice-trials.md).

## 3. If you won: trade on your Life

A win shows the Life award screen, then the Life [auto-equips](/docs/after-you-win/earn-a-life.md) when a slot is free. Open the [Terminal](/docs/after-you-win/trade-on-your-life.md) to trade with your Life.

## 4. Check progress

Open your profile for account stats, XP and achievements. Open the Leaderboard to see how you compare to peers on Trials, funded trading, affiliates, and campaigns. See [XP, leveling and achievements](/docs/progress-and-preseason/xp-leveling-and-achievements.md) and [Leaderboard](/docs/compete-and-connect/leaderboard.md).

## After a loss

Read [Your Grading](/docs/playing-a-trial/your-grading.md). Practice one fix. Buy another Key in the [Store](/docs/wallet-and-store/the-store.md) when you are ready.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://size.club/docs/get-started/your-first-15-minutes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
