This is the real game. to unlock all levels, maths, reading and your pocket money tracker. 7 days free, then from £3.99/month.
Four simple steps from sign-up to pocket money — no setup headaches, 7-day free trial included.
Sign up with email in under a minute. Set your children's names, ages, and the pocket money rate per correct answer — even 1p per answer adds up beautifully.
Choose spelling, maths or reading. The game reads questions aloud, adjusts to their level automatically, and gives helpful hints if they get stuck — never demoralising.
Every correct answer adds to a visible running total. The parent area tracks daily and lifetime scores — complete with a progress report showing accuracy and struggle words.
You decide when to pay out. Tap the amount in the Parent Area to record the payment and reset the counter. No money ever changes hands through the app — you're always in control.
Pocket money is concrete and meaningful. It's not stars on a chart — it's something children can spend.
Every answer gets instant feedback. No waiting for a teacher to mark work — the loop is fast and motivating.
Gets harder as they improve, easier when they struggle — always pitched at the right level of challenge.
Every spelling word and maths question can be read aloud — perfect for younger children and those who process better by listening.
Parents set a daily question target. Hit it and earn a bonus — just like a proper working week.
Spelling, maths and reading — covering the full UK primary curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6 and beyond.
KS1 and KS2 statutory word lists, read aloud by a friendly voice. First try earns full points, second try earns half — a 50/50 lifeline on the third attempt.
From simple addition and counting for Year 1 to algebra, fractions and BIDMAS for Year 6. Multiple choice options appear after a wrong answer — so no child gets stuck.
Original stories from simple sentences to analytical passages. Comprehension questions test recall, inference, vocabulary and author intent — the full range of reading skills.
This game was built because the creator struggled with spelling and maths at school — living with ADHD and dyslexia. They knew that learning doesn't have to feel like a punishment.
Every design decision — the short questions, the instant rewards, the voice support, the hint system, the multiple choice lifeline — was made with neurodivergent learners specifically in mind. But it works brilliantly for every child.
Questions are quick-fire — perfect for children who struggle to sustain attention. A daily cap prevents overwhelm while keeping streaks meaningful.
Every spelling word is spoken clearly with an example sentence. Stories can be read aloud. Children who process language auditorily are fully supported.
Wrong answers trigger helpful hints — never discouraging language. The multiple choice lifeline means children always have a path to getting it right.
Words your child struggles with are quietly logged in the parent area — no red marks in front of your child. Parents can review and practise together.
A PIN-protected parent area gives you complete oversight — no surprises.
Choose how many pence per correct answer. Spelling earns more for first-attempt success than second — rewarding effort.
Set a maximum number of questions per game per day. Controls screen time and keeps daily totals within a budget you're comfortable with.
30-day charts showing questions answered, correct answers, and accuracy by game. See at a glance which subjects need more attention.
Any spelling word answered incorrectly is added to a private parent list — perfect for focussed practice and school test preparation.
Add as many children as you like under one account. Each has their own avatar, level, and independent pocket money total.
Set a daily question target. When your child hits it, they earn a bonus — teaching goal-setting as well as spelling and maths.
