About

Numbr

Features
Read full description

Numbr is a calm arithmetic logic puzzle. Place digits and operators into equation grids so every row and column evaluates correctly — then race the five-minute daily clock. Think. Place. Balance. 13,000 PUZZLES Ship with a built-in library of 13,000 unique, validated equation grids. Signs, Digits, and Mix — from Intro through Expert — so Daily Challenge and Training always have depth without waiting on downloads. HOW TO PLAY Each grid is a set of interlocking equations. Fill empty cells from a tray of digits and signs so every line is mathematically true. Multiplication and division resolve before addition and subtraction. Division must be exact, and dividing by zero is never allowed. DAILY CHALLENGE Every UTC day brings a shared sequence of puzzles that rotates across Signs, Digits, and Mix. You have five minutes. Clear as many grids as you can. Score rewards balanced equations, clean clears, accuracy, leftover time, and finishing the full sequence. ENCORE Finish all seven daily runs in the UTC week to unlock Encore — an extra challenge for players who stayed the course. TRAINING Practice anytime with Quick Play. Draw from the same 10,000-puzzle bank by shareable grid number. Training runs are unlimited and do not affect leaderboards. RANKS & STREAKS Completed daily runs submit to Game Center and CloudKit leaderboards for Score, Accuracy, Grids Cleared, and Daily Streak. Sign in to Game Center and iCloud to appear on the global boards. Keep playing each UTC day to grow your streak. FEATURES • 10,000 unique validated puzzles on device • Fresh Daily Challenge every UTC day • Signs, Digits, and Mix puzzle families • Five difficulty tiers from Intro to Expert • Five-minute timed daily runs with clear scoring • Encore unlock after a full UTC week of dailies • Training / Quick Play for practice • Archive of past runs • Game Center and CloudKit leaderboards • Local badges for consistency, grids, accuracy, streaks, and Encore • Sound, haptics, and calm editorial visuals FREE TO PLAY Numbr is free to download and play.
