Sumaze!

Sumaze! is a terrific new game that tests your core maths skills.

You will have access to 9 levels of the game, starting with some really trivial ones to allow you to understand the game, followed by some trickier levels. You score 1 point for level 1, 2 points for level 2, 3 points for level 3 and so on until 9 points for level 9.

However, you will lose 2 points for every hint you use (available on levels 8 & 9). And if you have to restart a level then you will lose 1 point each time, up to a maximum of 4 lost points. So, if you need one hint on level 9, then your maximum score goes from 9 down to 7. And if you succeed after restarting three times, then your score drops from 7 down to 4.

It is easier to understand Sumaze! by experiencing it, but in case it helps here are a few important rules and tips:

• Aim – to move your blue box to reach the “end of level” square.
• Your box cannot at any time contain a number bigger than 1,000.
• Your box cannot at any time contain a number that is a fraction.
• You sometimes need keys to open doors to reach the “end of level” square.
• Passing through an arrow means you cannot go back.
• To pass through a green square you must satisfy the square’s condition.
• Pink squares (and their operations) disappear when you move onto them.
• Lilac squares (and their operations) can be crossed over and over again.
• IMPORTANT – Sumaze won't run on a smartphone. If you are currently on a smartphone, then type this into your PC/Mac/tablet browser: bit.ly/parallel_sumaze

You can stop and start Sumaze!, and the website will use cookies to remember your level and score so far, but it is better to finish all the levels once you have started.
