NOURFORGE NUMBER MAYHEM · LEARN

Why practise arithmetic in an arcade game?

Mental arithmetic is easy at a desk and hard under pressure. Number Mayhem rewards the next correct answer, not the fastest guess, and never stops the rain to wait for you.

01

The answer fires on match

There is no Enter key: the moment the typed digits equal an answer on screen the item explodes. A digit that can lead to no answer counts as a wrong answer at once, so the game trains committing to a result rather than typing and checking.

  • Every value on screen is unique, so you always know which item you are answering
  • The gold frame shows the one item the typed digits would fire at
02

From single digits to BODMAS

Values use the digits 0 to 5 through Level 50 and 0 to 9 through Level 100, then double figures creep in. Subtraction, multiplication, exact division and negative answers unlock by maths level, and every fifth level is a BODMAS level where the order of operations decides the answer.

03

Choosing a world size, difficulty and maths level

Smaller worlds are faster at the bottom; larger worlds fill with more items. Difficulty changes healing only and the maths level changes the sums only, so every ranking stays comparable within its own table.
