// HOW TO PLAY
ANSWER FAST
A math question appears with 4 choices. Click, tap, or press keys 1–4 to answer before the timer runs out.
BUILD COMBOS
Consecutive correct answers grow your combo multiplier. Each combo level adds 15% more score per question. Get 3+ for bonus banners.
LEVEL UP
Answer a set number correctly to level up. Higher levels unlock harder question types and bigger numbers — but score multipliers increase too.
USE POWER-UPS
Skip (skip question), 50/50 (remove 2 wrong answers), Freeze (pause timer 3s). Use them strategically — you only get 1 of each per game.
EQUATION TYPES BY DIFFICULTY
| Difficulty | Equation Types | Time | Lives |
|---|---|---|---|
| EASY | +, − | 8s | 3 |
| MEDIUM | +, −, ×, ÷ | 6s | 3 |
| HARD | +−×÷, x², %, Neg, Missing □ | 5s | 2 |
| INSANE | All + Algebra + Chain (BODMAS) | 4s | 1 |
SCORING SYSTEM
Base points = (15 + Level × 8)
Speed bonus = ×(time remaining / 100) — answer faster for more points
Combo multiplier = ×(1 + combo × 0.15) — chains amplify everything
Total = Base × Speed × Combo
Grade S requires 90%+ accuracy AND level 5+. Grade A = 80%+. Grades B/C/D scale down.
FAQ
How do keyboard controls work? ▾
Press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to pick the corresponding answer option (shown with [1] [2] [3] [4] labels on each button). This is the fastest way to answer — faster answers earn a bigger speed bonus.
What is the combo system? ▾
Consecutive correct answers increase your combo counter. The combo multiplier adds 15% extra score per combo level (×1, ×1.15, ×1.30...). One wrong answer or timeout resets it to zero. Getting 8 combo fills all streak pips.
What's the best way to get a high score? ▾
Answer quickly (speed bonus) and never break your combo (combo multiplier). Save your Freeze power-up for chain or algebra questions. Use 50/50 on percentages if you're unsure. Higher difficulty = higher base score per question.
Is Math Blitz free? Does it save scores? ▾
