Freaking Math is back - and it is still smarter than you. The rules are stupidly simple. The game is freakishly hard. An equation flashes on screen. Is it TRUE or FALSE? You have about ONE SECOND to decide. Get it right and keep going. Get it wrong and it is game over. No solving, no typing - just your gut, your reflexes, and a clock that never blinks. Sounds easy? 12 + 7 = 20. TRUE or FALSE? Tick tick tick... yeah. That is the trap. BACK TO SCHOOL READY Kids Zone is the math drill your child never knew they wanted. Build a custom session in seconds: pick any operation, set the number range or choose exact multiplication tables, decide how many questions. No timer breathing down their neck. Wrong answer? The correct one flashes so they learn before moving on. Math practice they will actually ask for.

True or false? You've got seconds. An equation lands on a card. Swipe right if it's true, left if it's false. Easy to start, hard to master: the math climbs from quick addition to times tables, order of operations and squares. HOW TO PLAY • One gesture: swipe right for TRUE, left for FALSE • In Classic, every card has its own timer, so think fast • Get one wrong in Classic and the card shows you the right answer • A short interactive tutorial guides your first cards, and you can replay it anytime from the menu TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: an endless mode with 3 lives. A wrong answer or a timeout costs one. The challenge grows with every correct answer across 6 tiers: addition, subtraction, times tables, division, order of operations and squares. • Lightning: a 60-second time attack. Every correct answer scores, and every wrong swipe costs 3 seconds. Your personal best stays on screen the whole run. SPECIAL CARDS IN CLASSIC • Boss cards: gold-framed cards with harder questions and double points • Rush: a sprint of 5 quick cards for bonus points, where mistakes cost nothing KEEP YOUR STREAK • In Classic, chain correct answers to raise your multiplier up to ×4 • As your streak grows, the background heats up, with embers rising at high multipliers • The M mascot hops with every right answer, with sound, haptics and confetti to match TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Separate personal bests for Classic and Lightning • Score, accuracy and top streak after every Classic run PLAY YOUR WAY • Quick sessions with no menus between runs • Sound on/off toggle; haptics keep working with sound off Easy enough for the whole family, tough enough to keep sharp minds busy. How long can you keep your streak? Swipe & Math is free to play with ads. In Classic, you can watch an optional video once per run for one extra life and keep your score.
