Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A free game site run by a middle school math teacher for 19 years, with more than 1,000 browser games. Some are math practice by grade; many are logic, escape and puzzle games, including old Flash games rebuilt in JavaScript. A newer multiplayer game, Hooda's Laser Tag, mixes multiplication questions into a 60-player match. Kids play right away with no download; optional Club Hooda accounts save progress and streaks. It is built to work on school Wi-Fi.
Our take: A reasonable free pick for logic games and some math practice; parents wanting focused math learning should steer kids to specific games or another site.
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: 2 out of 5 | Google AdSense ads load (3 ad frames), and the top of the page promotes 'Unblocked Games' such as Drift Hunters, Snow Rider 3D and Papa's Freezeria alongside the math games. |
|---|---|
| Data: 2 out of 5 | Google's ad servers (googlesyndication, googleads.g.doubleclick.net) set ad cookies (__gads, DSID) on the first visit; no other ad exchanges were seen. |
| Ease: 4 out of 5 | Big game tiles in collapsible sections (Addition Games and so on), with a large Club Hooda button in the header. |
| Cost honesty: 5 out of 5 | Free; the Club Hooda button did not show a price or upgrade in this check. |
What we found
- 19 third-party hosts on 7 sites, all Google; 9 cookies including DSID on doubleclick.net and NID on google.com.
- 3 AdSense ad frames plus a Google Classroom share widget.
- The first section is 'Unblocked Games' (driving and arcade games), ahead of the math collections.
- Links out to Reddit, YouTube, Apple and Google.
From the test: Lots of free math games, but the page runs Google ads and leads with 'unblocked' arcade games ahead of the math.
