+## ➕ Adding Questions
+
+Edit `questions.json`, add to the `questions` array inside `levels[0]`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 101,
+  "npc": "Professor Oak",
+  "text": "Your question here?",
+  "options": ["Option A", "Option B", "Option C", "Option D"],
+  "answer": 0,
+  "explanation": "Why Option A is correct."
+}
+```
+
+`answer` is the **0-based index** of the correct option (0 = A, 1 = B, 2 = C, 3 = D).
+
+---
+
+## 🧑 Adding NPCs
+
+In `game.js`, add to the `NPC` object at the top:
+
+```js
+const NPC = {
+  'Your NPC Name': '🧑',
+  ...
+};
+```
+
+Then reference `"npc": "Your NPC Name"` in `questions.json`.
+
