Which tables?

Your rocket races a rival across the screen. Every correct answer pushes you forward; every wrong one pushes the other ship instead. Whoever reaches the planet first wins.

Play: Space Race

  1. Pick your tables, how far the planet is, and how fast your rival flies.
  2. Answer each question as quickly as you can.
  3. Correct and fast moves you a long way; correct and slow moves you a little; a wrong answer moves the rival instead.
  4. Cross the finish line before the other ship.

Why games beat drilling

Racing something makes speed feel like the goal rather than a demand, and children push themselves harder against an opponent than against a stopwatch.

Common questions

How do you win the space race game?
Reach the planet before the rival ship. Distance comes from getting answers right and from how fast you answer them, so accuracy and speed both matter.
Can I make the opponent easier?
Yes. There are three rival speeds. Start on easy while a table is new and move up once the answers come without hesitation.
How long does one race take?
Around a minute. It is twelve questions, so it fits neatly into a short practice session.
