What is Math Race

A free cartoon game where your runner is powered by arithmetic. Every gate is a problem with three lanes of answers. The right lane gives you a boost; the wrong one sends your runner face-first into the sand — and the game shows the correct answer straight away.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division — from “up to 10” to the 12 times table. The Daily Challenge is one track for the whole world, and with a link you can challenge a friend: they race the very same problems against your ghost. Play in the browser on any device or install the game like an app.

Our goal

Basic facts — 7 + 8, 6 × 7, 63 ÷ 9 — are the foundation of all school maths. When they come to mind instantly, your head is free for fractions, equations and multi-step problems. When they don’t, every problem trips over the arithmetic.

Practising them is usually dull: flashcards, worksheets, “one more row”. We want practice you come back to on your own — because it’s a race, a friend’s ghost is breathing down your neck and the ostrich falls over in a very silly way.

The goal is simple: a minute of arithmetic a day as a habit, not a chore. For a first-grader learning the times tables, and for a grown-up who wants to warm up their brain and beat their friends.

What we stand for

  • No sign-up

    No email, no password. Open it and you’re already running.

  • Nothing for money

    Nothing in the game is sold for money. New runners are unlocked with πes you earn by racing.

  • Ads stay out of the way

    Only between races, never in the middle of one. Bonus ads play only when you tap for them.

  • Minimal data

    Your records live on your device. Statistics are anonymous, and in the EU we collect them only with your consent.

  • Safe for kids

    No chat and no private messages. Rude nicknames are filtered out, and offensive ones can be reported.

  • Music made of code

    The tunes are synthesised right in the game, note by note. No composers were harmed.

Who makes it

Math Race is an independent project: no investors, no big studio. It’s made by Oleksandr Dordiuk, a developer based in Poland.

So every email is read by the person who writes the code — and the best ideas from players end up in the game.

Math Race (mathrace.app) is run by Oleksandr Dordiuk, a sole trader registered in Poland.
