At NumberClub, our mission is simple: to help every child get good at mathematics. We believe mastering number facts should be a journey filled with curiosity and confidence, and be something that children actually enjoy. That’s why we’ve created games that are built on playful principles (more on that to come!) and put mathematical decision making at the heart of the game experience.

So far, NumberClub is home to three unique and exciting games:

Brick Up turns addition and subtraction into building challenges—kids learn to reason about the relationships between numbers as they decide which “bricks” fit where.

Stick and Split is a visually rich adventure through multiplication and division, with over 300 immersive levels that encourage deep numerical understanding.

Number Ramble is a fresh, flexible take on multiplication and division, sharpening fluency by manipulating numbers with surprising depth.

And here’s the best part - these games aren’t just fun. They’re grounded in research. Studies consistently show that game-based learning (GBL) in mathematics boosts cognitive skills such as number knowledge and reasoning, and motivation, interest, engagement, and positive attitudes toward learning (1). One study found that just 20 minutes a day over 2 weeks with a simple mathematics game significantly improved recall of multiplication and division facts (2). That’s the kind of powerful, transferable impact we’re aiming for at NumberClub where our games develop fluency through absorbing, reasoning-rich activity, not endless drills or tests.

In short, our goal is to blend play, evidence, and mathematically focused game design to support all children to become stronger mathematical thinkers - one brick, one stick, one split, one ramble at a time.
