Nerdy turns math practice into something you actually want to open. Work through 502 cards across 43 topics — from counting and times tables to fractions, exponents, probability, trigonometry and logarithms. Every card is played as one of 9 quick mini-games, so practice never feels like a worksheet. WHAT'S INSIDE • 502 cards across 43 topics. Questions are generated fresh each time, so there is no answer key to memorise. • 9 mini-games — drag and drop, true or false, multiple choice, timed tests, balloon popping, rocket launches, star catching and maze runs. • 112 logic puzzles across 6 chapters and 31 puzzle types: magic squares, KenKen, nonograms, matchstick puzzles, cryptarithms, cube nets, mirror puzzles and more. • Live Arena — an always-on global round you can join at any moment, with live standings and a recap of what you missed. • Private races — invite up to 8 friends with a room code or a QR scan. Play a single round, or a best-of-3 or best-of-5 series. • Three-star scoring. Perfect and quick earns three stars; two mistakes end the card. BUILT FOR THE RIGHT LEVEL Choose an age band — 5-7, 8-10, 11-13 or 14+ — and Nerdy shows only the topics that fit. Kids mode keeps all 9 mini-games. Teen mode drops the arcade ones for straight practice. PLAYS ANYWHERE The card game and every riddle work fully offline. Sign in when you want leaderboards, achievements and multiplayer; your progress syncs in the background. ALSO INCLUDED • 32 achievements and 4 leaderboards through Game Center • 8 themes with animated backgrounds, plus light and dark modes • Available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Chinese Nerdy Premium unlocks every card, all 112 riddle levels and the full theme set.
