Overview

How to play

01

"How many?" is the base rule

The board shows the same digit several times. Under the base rule, tap the button for how many digits are displayed — not the digit itself.

COUNT
The trick is suppressing the urge to read the digit
02

Watch for rule switches

From level 3, "Which digit?" questions that ask for the written digit itself are mixed in. Check the rule banner before answering each question.

SWITCH
A white dashed banner signals a switch rule
03

Add & subtract

As stages advance, "Add (digit + count)" and "Subtract (digit − count)" rules join in.

+−
The math stays single-digit — stay calm and it is easy
04

Red & blue rules

Red and blue pieces appear as stages advance. Later rules ask for red count, blue count, all minus red, or red minus blue.

COLOR
Red is round, and blue is more squared
05

Wrong answers cost time

A wrong answer never fails the run, but each miss adds +3 seconds to your total time. The same question stays until you answer correctly.

+3s
Panic-tapping makes your time heavier
06

Time attack

Each stage is a streak of 5–7 questions. Your score is the total time (elapsed + penalties) until all questions are answered. Later levels scatter the digits and vary their sizes.

STREAK
Questions are randomly generated on every play

Difficulty

99 stages total. Every 11 stages, the level increases.
