Times Tables Hero aims to make learning the times tables cool and fun for the whole family. It's a unique and fun multiplication game which involves swiping a deck of 30 multiplication cards left or right depending on the answer. If the answer is correct, swipe right. If the answer is incorrect, swipe left. That's all there is to it! No multiple choice answers and no keyboard to enter the answer. Correctly swipe a deck of 30 cards in 30 seconds or less to earn a HERO ranking. If you swipe incorrectly 4 times within a game, it's game over.
