Math Max is a free maths game for children aged 6 to 12. Max runs, jumps and dodges through five worlds, and every few seconds a sum appears: run through the gate with the right answer.
This is one moment from a run. The wrong answers aren’t random: each one is a mistake children really make, like counting one too far or forgetting to carry.
Max never stops running, so the maths happens at game speed. Three things, over and over:
Swipe or use the arrow keys to change lanes and jump over logs. Collect coins and build a combo.
A sum appears on a wooden sign. The road clears before the gates, so there is time to think.
The right gate bursts open with a trail of stars. A wrong one costs a heart and shows the answer, and that sum comes back later.
After every eight sums Max runs straight into the next world, and each one brings trickier obstacles.
Every run starts on a sandy path between wooden fences. Jump the fallen logs and steer round the giant mushrooms.
Front gardens and quiet streets, with road barriers, dumpsters and parked delivery vans in the way.
Hurdles on a red running track. The crowd does the wave and jumps up after every right answer.
Shops, flats and skyscrapers, zebra crossings and traffic lights. The obstacles come faster here.
A rainbow road among the planets, with laser fences and asteroids. Space never ends: how far can you go?
Everyone starts with a short warm-up: two quick right answers in a row move up a level, so a child who knows their tables gets there in about three minutes. After that Math Max moves up when sums go well, steps back when they don’t, and brings back the sums that went wrong.
Children can also pick their own maths: plus, minus, times, divide or any mix. Each choice keeps its own level.
