Starfleet Academy Games Guide: Test Your Cadet Skills

Think you have what it takes to graduate from Starfleet Academy? Our collection of games inspired by the show will test your knowledge, reflexes, and problem-solving skills. Here's your guide to every game and how to excel at each one.

Academy Entrance Exam

Type: Trivia / Knowledge Test Difficulty: Medium to Hard

The Academy Entrance Exam tests your knowledge of Star Trek lore across all series. Questions cover everything from famous captains to alien species to key historical events.

• Pay attention to the wording—Trek trivia often has trick questions
• Knowledge of the 32nd century (Discovery, Starfleet Academy) is particularly valuable
• The exam pulls from all eras, so brush up on TOS through SNW
• Streaks multiply your score, so consistency matters more than speed

Bridge Simulator

Type: Reaction / Timing Difficulty: Hard

Take command of a starship bridge and respond to developing situations. You'll need quick reflexes and good decision-making to succeed.

• Learn the priority order: shields, weapons, then evasive maneuvers
• Red alerts require immediate attention—don't ignore them
• Crew efficiency matters—keep an eye on your team's status
• Practice the early stages to build muscle memory for commands

Cadet Mystery

Type: Deduction / Investigation Difficulty: Medium

Channel your inner Sidra and solve mysteries at the Academy. Gather clues, interview witnesses, and piece together what really happened.

• Take notes—small details often matter later
• Don't accuse too early; gather all available evidence first
• Some clues are red herrings designed to mislead you
• Revisit witnesses after learning new information

Holodeck Challenge

Type: Puzzle / Memory Difficulty: Varies

The holodeck offers varied challenges testing different skills. From pattern recognition to sequence memory, you never know what simulation you'll face.

• Each challenge type has different strategies—adapt quickly
• The pattern challenges reward patience over speed
• Memory sequences build gradually—focus on the new additions
• High scores unlock bonus holodeck programs
