Number Maze is an educational math game for kids in grades K through 6. Covering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, this game requires students to successfully navigate a series of ever-tightening mazes by solving math problems. The goal is to reach the castle and then enter the throne room within the castle. They can play as a car, a horse, or a mouse.

There are over 350 levels and 36 types of mazes in Number Maze. Depending on the level of complexity, the student may have to collect books or keys along the way to the castle, or they may not be able to open certain doors. Even once inside the castle, there are invisible walls and doors to keep the player on their toes.

Parents can change levels of difficulty and view the progress of up to 50 students. Students get a printable certificate of achievement for each level they complete.
