Developed with education experts and award winning game developers with input from young adults.
Helping young adults to practise everyday maths
The game is available for free to anyone with an Apple or Android phone, but primarily designed for 16-25 year old gamers who struggle to see the relevance of maths in their lives. The action takes place on a movie set- the player is a runner and it's their first job in the film business. The game encourages them to:
- Complete the missions the crew set by using everyday maths
- Collect coins, cover a distance, and help the crew to complete a to do list.
- Chart the skills they've learned on a CV
- Progress through 6 different ranks from runner to producer.
