Why it works for SATs revision
Speed and accuracy
The questions come from the easier levels, so success depends on quick, confident recall rather than puzzling over hard problems.
Pressure that is fun
The fog creeps in, the heartbeat quickens and strange symbols flicker as the witch gets closer. It is spooky, not gory.
Learn from every run
After each chase, the Echoes of the Hunt log shows every question with your answer and the correct one.
Progress is tracked
Results are saved by topic, so you can see which areas of the Year 6 maths curriculum need more practice.
Three ways to run
Walk (Easy)
A slow witch and plenty of breathing space. Ideal for building confidence.
Sprint (Hard)
A faster witch. The standard challenge for confident pupils.
Ascend (Impossible)
The fastest witch of all. Only for the sharpest and quickest mathematicians.
Credits, marks and The Lost Souls leaderboard
Every run earns Space Credits based on the distance you survive, and harder settings pay out more credits per metre. Players also collect Marks for every correct answer.
The Lost Souls leaderboard ranks the furthest runners on each setting and shows their school names. Beat your personal best and the game celebrates it.
