Infinity City needs its heroes—the numbers league. To save this fictional town from the villains that plague it, you gather a team of superheroes and use their abilities and creative devices to catch as many villains as possible. Save the day by using your math skills in innovative ways. As you progress through the game, you gain more skills until no villain is safe from your numerical prowess. This app has adjustable levels of difficulty so that anyone age five and above can enjoy playing. The Minion-level is best suited for a five-year-old, and the superhero level is best suited for more advanced learners (even educators and parents).

What Users Love About the App

“Fun graphics, fun music, fun rewards for catching bad guys with difficulty-tunable math makes this a fun game for me, as an adult, to wake up my math mind. I keep coming back to it, and updates keep making the capture screens fresh and amusing.”

“My favorite thing about this game is how adaptable it is. There is a whole page of game levels, one of which is customizable to add skill concepts on demand. The options page is my friend! Kids love the ‘dynamic’ setting so they can watch all animations, but I get impatient so I like to set it to ‘fast’ or ‘simple’ for shorter or fewer animations. When I want an extra challenge I set the timer and being able to ‘charge’ for hints make me think twice before I hit that button. I love this game!”

“We had to watch the tutorial to figure out how to play this game but once we did that we didn’t want to stop playing this game! This is the type of game all of my kids ages 3 to 10 enjoy playing and I enjoy playing it with them.”

“When I first bought this app I wasn’t sure if it would be too complicated for my 6 year old (first grader). I quickly found out that he loved it. He even enjoyed the challenge of reading the headlines of the newspaper!”

“My six and eight year olds are both getting dressed, eating breakfast, and BEHAVING so they can play before going to school!! What they don’t know is they are learning while they are playing. It’s too fun for them to notice. Good thing we have two iPads.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“We will be filing away on the cloud for now, disappointed as reviews led me to believe younger kids could have adjustable gameplay like setting a range of numbers for totals to make it easier. It is not adjustable that way. Website lists all the common core identifiers.”

“It takes several minutes to wade through confusing narrative to get started, then the task itself is insanely confusing. It takes a lot of brainpower to figure out what to do, and none of that brainpower is focused at all on math.”
