### 3/5 — Not an Educational Game

*2026-02-15, version 1.21*

It’s a fun game in so far as addictive RPGs go, but you don’t really learn any math. You’re forced to make split-second decisions and choose A,B, or C based on likelihood.  So for instance (23+4)x5= a)118 b)135 c)127 

You get about 0.3 seconds to answer this. Naturally, you know that anything times 5 is going to end in a five or a zero, so you pick B.

Then you grind this over and over again, except that isn’t all multiples of 5. You’re not even looking for precise answers half the time, just shortcuts that work with the multiple choice. 

Worst part is it isn’t even leveled in an educational way. If it were like learning tables where Level 1 is all about adding ones and 2s at increasingly faster pace, then three, then four, then subtract, it would be awesome. Instead the numbers and the operations start randomly and the timer is killer. You will only get through by getting power ups, which for some people means spending hours grinding away and for others it means spending hours AND money. Clever little casino where the house always wins. 

If this truly were a casino, K I’m the equivalent of a professional poker player. I’m good. I’m fast. But I know that no matter who you are this game is rigged in favor the house and newbies, especially kids, who want to improve their math will mot learn much here. 

Beyond failing to follow any of the science behind creating an effective educational math challenge, it doesn’t even provide mental mag strategies. A truly educational game is meant to encourage mastery. This game instead literally profits from defeat.
