Math Duck: Duck Math Puzzle Game
Find the missing number, grab the key, reach the door. 15 levels from addition to times tables. Free, no sign-up.
How to play Math Duck
- Read the equation in the top-left box. One number is replaced by a question mark.
- Work out the missing number, then jump to the floating number tile that matches. Wrong tiles send you back to the start.
- Once you have the right number, the key lights up. Grab it and run to the door on the right.
- Avoid the grey spikes and watch the timer. If it runs out, the level restarts with the same equation.
