DeathMath: A Math Game Kids Would Actually Play

Check out the project we knocked out at Startup Weekend Seattle EDU:

We created this game called DeathMath in 54-hours at Startup Weekend EDU. The title speaks for itself doesn’t it? If you were expecting some type of violent game with a splattering of math, you’ve come to the right place. This is a fighting game where you go one on one with another player and the only way to inflict damage is to answer the math questions quicker than your opponent, and correctly. Pretty simple, but oh so fun. We wanted the game to be engaging and entertaining for kids because all the other educational games weren’t, at least in our eyes. And if it helped strengthen ones mathematical chops by drilling them over and over again — all the better.
