The games must be easy to understand and play without long explanations or pages of rules - simple games can be just as exciting as more complicated ones as long as they are well designed.
Our maths games are designed to be both simple to understand and quick to play. They are suitable for both school pupils and home-educated children and are designed to be played by individual players learning or revising maths. The games are primarily based on answering questions either using the keyboard or multiple choice - this is done in a variety of ways in the different games.
