Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A website of fast multiplayer drill games for grades 1 to 6 and up, covering math facts, money, time, fractions, integers, algebra, spelling, typing and geography. A child races cars, rockets or animals by answering questions quickly, and can play live against classmates. The games aim at speed and fluency through repetition. The free version plays in a browser; Arcademics Plus adds teacher and parent reports and custom content.
Our take: Fine for quick fact-fluency races at school or home; families who want no ad tracking or who have a child anxious about speed should skip it.
Checked in a browser
A browser check on 2026-10-25: what loads, the ads and trackers we saw, and what a child meets first. Not a hands-on test.
| Child safety: 4 out of 5 | No ads; the home page shows a public leaderboard of player names from multiplayer races (no chat seen) and an app-download prompt. |
|---|---|
| Data: 2 out of 5 | No ad slots, but a Google Ads conversion tag (ad.doubleclick.net, googleads.g.doubleclick.net) loaded with Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics; the ad tag fired but no ad was shown. (Aligned with the other checks: a Google Ads tag loading counts as an ad network present, even with no ad shown.) |
| Ease: 5 out of 5 | Big pictures with a large PLAY label on each game; a young child can see where to tap. |
| Cost honesty: 5 out of 5 | The page says the games are free; no upgrade prompt seen. |

From the test: Simple, ad-free math races with big play buttons; the first visit does load a Google Ads tag and shows a public leaderboard of player names.
