A 35-minute course that teaches people to spot manipulation before it costs them. A certificate advisors can file. A number directors can report. Built for chapters, councils and campuses.
The course is not open yet. Chapters and councils first, this fall. Campus and headquarters programs open in January, when Cray presents at the 2027 NASPA Strategies Conferences as a Silver Sponsor.

Book a meeting at NASPAFor you
Watch, play Red Flag or Nah, pass the quiz, get the certificate. Free app not required. Nobody has to know you took it unless you post the certificate.
For chapters, councils and campuses
One programming hour that counts, completion reporting for your advisor, a pre/post number for your director, and an alignment sheet for the file.
See pricingWhat you'll learn
Each segment is a 20-second sketch with the Cray Universe cast, a plain-talk decode, a pattern card, and a round of Red Flag or Nah. It is sourced, mapped, and funny on purpose.
The flags are easy to list. The blind spots are why people miss them anyway.
Why smart, careful people miss the signs: the stories we tell ourselves while it is happening.
Location sharing, photo and password demands, screenshots as leverage. The versions your parents never had to learn.
What to do early, what to do if it is already bad, and where the real resources are.
The bystander segment: how to say something without becoming the enemy.
How it works
Four short videos, about 35 minutes total. Justin opens it; Crayvon, the Cray fox, hosts the rest.
Real scenarios in every segment. Make the call, see why.
14 questions, 80% to pass, unlimited retakes, an explanation after every answer.
A PDF with your name, chapter or school, certificate number and expiry. A story-size version for social.
Because a lecture on manipulation makes people defensive, and defensive people stop watching. Crayvon is there so 18 to 24 year olds finish. The sketches lower the shame; the content underneath is sourced, mapped, and the same for everyone. Crayvon is the delivery, not the curriculum.
The library
Red Flag Academy is a library of 220 animated episodes, 38 seconds each, one term apiece. The matching episodes sit on every lesson page, and the rest form an optional Vocabulary module a chapter can assign as ongoing programming.
Red Flag Rock, the album, is in there too. Sixteen songs, one per red flag, in case your members learn better from a chorus than a slide.
For chapters, councils and campuses
Every tier is the same course. What changes is who gets access, what reporting you see, and whether the Campus pack is built for your school. Launch pricing below is held for the first year for anyone who requests early access.
$299 minimum, $699 cap. No contract. Checkout opens at launch.
$3,990 up to 20 chapters. $4,990 unlimited.
$7,900 up to 1,500 completions.
Every enrolled student. Everything in Department, campus-wide, listed in your Annual Security Report programming if you choose, an annual Campus pack update, and the Vocabulary module. Included in Campus Legend.
Talk to usEvery chapter, every campus. HQ dashboard, aggregate pre/post for the board, co-branded certificate, Campus packs where you have five or more chapters, and an annual prevention report for your insurer.
Talk to usYour school's own definitions, offices, reporting options and local hotlines on every lesson page and the certificate, quoted and dated from your Annual Security Report, never paraphrased.
One school, one agreement: a chapter that buys at a school with a council or department deal is refunded and moved onto it. The free Cray app is never in the price and the course never requires it.
Early access
Tell us who you are and we will send a walkthrough before the course opens, hold launch pricing for your first year, and set a time to meet at NASPA Strategies in January if you will be there.

Why this exists
I built Cray after an eight-year relationship with a manipulative partner. Every one of the five red flags in this course was there. I did not have the words for any of them, and nobody around me did either. This course is the 35 minutes I wish someone had handed me at 19.

If you need help now
If a friend tells you something is wrong: believe them, ask what they need, and do not make them defend the person to you.
Get your chapter, council or campus in before launch, and give your people the words before they need them.
