RandoMath

Read full description

Two players. One minute. The same questions. Whoever answers more, wins. RandoMath is a one-minute arithmetic duel. You and your opponent are served the same questions at the same time, four options each, one tap to answer. The result is settled on the server the moment the match ends, so both screens agree about who won. THE MATCH - 60 seconds on the clock. - Reach 10 points and it ends there. Otherwise the higher score at the buzzer takes it, and level scores are a draw. - A wrong answer costs you a point and two seconds, so fast and careless loses to fast and right. - Questions are drawn at your rank: addition near the bottom of the ladder, all four operations further up. THE LADDER - Every rated match moves your rank, and the result screen shows exactly how far. - Eleven tiers, from Novice Explorer to Mythical Hero. - Your rank, your tier, your win-loss record and your daily streak are on the home screen, and the leaderboard shows where you stand. PRACTICE - Solo, unrated, drawn at your own rank, with the same rules a real match uses. Nothing you do here moves your position. HOW IT WORKS - No sign-up and no password: you have a player the moment you open the app, under a name we generate for you. - Sign in with Apple if you want your rank and record to survive a new phone. You can delete the account from the profile screen whenever you like. - If nobody is waiting when you search, you are matched with a computer opponent, so a game always starts.
