Think fast. Add faster. Tally Rush is a quick-fire mental math game where every answer becomes a race against the clock, your personal best, or an adaptive rival. See the numbers, solve the puzzle in your head, and tap in the answer before time runs out. The rules take seconds to learn, while 20 escalating levels keep testing your speed, accuracy, memory, and focus. RUSH THROUGH 20 LEVELS Start with three-digit sums and climb all the way to Master Mix. Along the way, unlock Missing Digit, Reduction, Flash, Two-Digit Sum, Signed Sum, Mixed Rush, and tougher marathon challenges. Earn XP, chase Bronze, Silver, and Gold mastery medals, and set new personal records. FACE A RIVAL IN DUEL Choose any unlocked level, put XP on the line, and enter a 60-second head-to-head against an adaptive anonymous rival. You both attack the same puzzle, and the first correct answer scores the point. Win to claim the combined XP prize, draw to get your XP entry back, or rematch and race again. Each Duel costs 1 Tally. RUSH THE CLOCK Reach Level 6 to unlock a different kind of pressure. Start with just 10 seconds and earn 5 more for every correct answer. Keep the clock alive and chase your longest streak. TAKE THE DAILY CHALLENGE Get one fresh official 60-second run every day. The variation rotates between Classic Sum, Missing Digit, Reduction, Flash, Two-Digit Sum, and Signed Sum.
