Read full description

Tumla is math practice parents and kids do TOGETHER — on a single phone or tablet. Put the tablet flat on the table between you. The child sits on one side, the grown-up on the other — the parent's half is rotated 180°, so you each see your side the right way up. Two players, one screen, no extra gear. TWO MATH ADVENTURES • Defend the Castle — monsters march in carrying math problems. Answer right to knock them back before they reach the castle. Build streaks, earn star showers. Pick 30, 60 or 90 seconds. • The Big Race — pick your animal and race to the flag. A right answer moves you forward, a wrong one slips you back — first to the finish wins. Separate records per game and mode, plus a parent report available from the start screen. WHAT MAKES TUMLA SPECIAL • Each player picks their OWN level. A grown-up can take on big multiplication and division while a five-year-old practices addition up to 10 — and still have a close, exciting duel. • Just right — all by itself. The game quietly adapts the difficulty as you play, within the limits you set. • Real shared play on one device. No login, no account, no waiting. • Cozy and safe. A soft claymation world. The castle can take damage but never falls — no scary losses. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Duel — separate scores, highest wins. • Together — shared score, beat your record as a team. • Solo — short practice rounds: against the clock in the castle, or a friendly ghost in the race. LEVELS FOR EVERYONE Addition up to 10, addition & subtraction, times tables 1–5 / 1–10 / 1–12, division, mixed, and big numbers for grown-ups. Choose "Type" (number pad) or "Pick" (three choices) per player. MADE FOR PARENTS No ads. Never a subscription — just one optional one-time upgrade (Tumla Complete), guarded by a parental gate. Collects no data — everything stays on your device. Works offline. In English, Norwegian, Polish and Spanish, chosen automatically to match your device. OUR ADVENTURE Twelve missions across three places connect the castle and races. Each mission has two stages with a shared correct-answer goal. Finish a round to save your contribution, then return whenever you like — together or solo. Completed missions add keepsakes to your map. The map is shared on this device and does not transfer to other devices.
