🚪 Escape Academy — a free maths game for kids
One hundred locked rooms. Search the furniture, read the dice, pick the door that matches.
Room by room the dice ask for more: matching dots to a numeral, adding two dice, ordering three of them, finding a pair that totals a target, multiplying, then comparing likelihoods. Because the clue has to be found before it can be used, children practise mathematical reasoning rather than answering a naked sum.
How to play
- 1Search the room — tap the drawer, the painting, the clock and the floor tile. Not everything hides a clue.
- 2Read the dice you uncover and work out the number they make.
- 3Choose the door labelled with that number.
- 4Wrong door? Nothing is lost — you get a hint and another try. Escape all the rooms you can.
Frequently asked questions
- How many rooms are there?
- One hundred, and they get harder as you go. Rooms 1–20 are dot counting and simple sums, the middle rooms add ordering and totals, and the last rooms bring in multiplication, fractions and probability.
- Does a wrong answer end the run?
- Never. Escape Academy has no lives and no game over — a wrong door shows a hint and lets the child try again. Mastery, not punishment.
- Which grades is it for?
- Pre-K through Grade 5. Pick the grade band at the top of the game and every room regenerates at that level.
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. It is free and instant, and progress is remembered on the device you play on.
