Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every game and puzzle is completely free, with no sign-up and no download. The site is supported by unobtrusive ads.
Do I need an account to save my scores?

What's the difference between the Sprint, Puzzles and Train sections?
Sprint games are fast and timed, to build arithmetic speed. Puzzles are slower, logic-based number puzzles like Sudoku and KenKen. Train games are short, focused drills for the fundamentals such as times tables and percentages.
How do daily challenges and streaks work?
Each day features a rotating puzzle at moderate difficulty. Complete it before midnight (your local time) to extend your streak. Miss a day and the counter resets, but you can start fresh immediately. All tracking happens locally on your device.
Can mental math practice actually improve my brain function?
Yes. Research shows that regular engagement with mentally demanding tasks like arithmetic sprints and logic puzzles can improve working memory, processing speed, and cognitive flexibility. The key is consistent, varied practice over weeks and months.
