Zupzi Math is an island-hopping math game for kindergarten through 5th grade. Lilo teaches before asking, steps in the moment your child gets stuck, and every right answer cracks an egg with a new friend inside. And you get to see what they learned.
Every question is a little scene to tap, drag and count, never a worksheet. Problems are made fresh by rules, so there is always a new one, and the wrong choices come from the mistakes kids really make.
Fourteen ways to play, from a number pad to thirteen hands-on mini-games: hop along a number line, tip a balance scale, turn the clock hands, make change at the cash register, plant rows on the Array Farm, build a fraction pizza. Kindergartners tap, drag and pop instead of typing.
A new skill starts with Lilo solving one while your child watches. Miss once and a hint arrives for that kind of mistake; miss twice and Lilo works that exact problem with them, marker in hand. Three problems missed in a row and the game eases off. No one gets stuck.
Each skill mastered pays Zupzi Learning Stars, once, never for repeats. They land in the same Stars balance as Zupzi Play, where you create the rewards, real-world ones too. Your child asks for one, and you approve it.

On your device, Lilo starts at the grade your child's birthday suggests; without one, and on a child's own paired device, at grade 1. Then up or down, eight questions at most. Nothing too easy, nothing far above.
Each visit is nine problems and a 30-second boss round. Then a medal, and the island's stone lights up on the map.
Real screens from the game, held sideways the way kids play it.
158 skills, each tied to a Common Core math standard: place value, time, US coins, measuring, times tables, division, fractions, decimals, area, graphs and more.
A balloon marks where to play next. Islands that aren't open yet wait in the fog, and each of the 13 numbered stones lights up as your child wins medals. The best medal on every island is kept.

Coins fly into the egg on screen, and it cracks a little more with each right answer. Then your child taps to help it hatch, and the baby says hello by name. There are 13 Numblings to collect, and 16 things for them to wear, from a crown and heart glasses to a wizard hat. Half are free, the rest cost game coins, and coins are never real money.
In the game, two Numbling friends hold up the number cards. What is 4 + 3?
Lilo is a round, fluffy Numbling with two glowing antennas, there from the very first tap. Lilo shows how, lets your child try a step (“Your turn! Tap…”), and cheers every win.
Everything is read aloud, which helps kids who can't read yet, and in lessons each sentence shows as a caption that lights up as it is spoken. Every line is built from clips recorded ahead of time and kept inside the app, so nothing is generated while your child plays.
Under Grown-ups, each child has a Progress report: skills mastered out of 158, minutes this week, and tabs for Mastered, Learning, Needs help and Review due, with the Common Core code beside every skill. An Islands card shows what's mastered on each island and the best medal.
A skill is flagged Needs help after two misses in a row, or after six tries with less than 60% right. Mastered skills come back as surprise reviews after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, so they stick.

On Sundays it covers the whole week, with the islands, and on the 1st the whole month, in place of that day's note. They go to every grown-up in the family. On by default; turn them off in Grown-ups.
Stars are on to start. Switch Zupzi Math to “Medals only” in Grown-ups whenever you like; it's one setting for your whole family.
Pick the grade it starts at. Skills start over, but the coins, medals, friends and Learning Stars already earned stay.
Every visit has a clear finish: a medal, the island's stone glowing on the map and, once a day, a surprise box that opens tomorrow. Then the iPad can go down.
One Zupzi account for the whole family: the same kids, pictures and PINs as in Zupzi Play and Zupzi Art.
iPhone and iPad · iOS 26 or later · in English
Kindergarten through 5th grade: 158 skills, from counting to 5 up to fractions, decimals, volume and the coordinate plane. A short placement quiz picks the starting grade, and Lilo adjusts from there.
First comes a hint made for that kind of mistake. After a second miss, Lilo works that exact problem with them, step by step, then gives a new one. In the 30-second boss round there's no lesson: after a second miss the answer is shown and the game moves on. Three problems in a row missed on the same skill drop it one level and switch to a different mini-game.
Only to sign in, add a child, give your consent or pair a device. The whole game and every voice clip are inside the app, so it plays offline. Learning Stars and the report summary wait and are sent the next time the game opens online.
With your consent for Zupzi Math, a short summary of each child's practice goes to our server so we can pay Learning Stars and send the report emails. Without it, Zupzi Math sends nothing about your child. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking SDKs in the app. Privacy details.
Yes. On your device, open Grown-ups and, under “Pair a child's iPad or iPhone”, tap Get a code (a code from Zupzi Play works too). On their iPad, tap I have a code and type the six digits. From then on, your child taps their picture and types their four-digit PIN. The Progress report lives under Grown-ups on a device where you're signed in and shows what was played there; what your child plays on their own iPad reaches you in the email report.
Zupzi Math pays Learning Stars once per new achievement: each skill mastered, the placement quiz, and the first medal on each island. They land in the same Stars balance as Zupzi Play, where you create the rewards, real-world ones included. Your child asks, you approve, and the Stars are spent only when you mark it given. Prefer medals only? Flip the switch in Grown-ups.
