Great arcade game—oh, and there's math involved

I downloaded Super 7 and haven't been able to quit playing it myself—even though it's a math game, it's a well-designed arcade game and can be extremely challenging.

What’s It About?

Discs numbered 1 to 6 float across the screen and collide with one another, forming new discs. Players try to combine discs that add up to seven. The game ends if discs add up to more than seven. Players can touch a disc and draw a line in any direction, and the disc will follow the course of that line. There are also multiplication, division, negative numbers, and wild card discs. Players can choose between the regular or XL game, which has a larger play area and room for more discs.

Is It Any Good?

SUPER 7 is remarkable in that it's essentially a math game, but never feels even remotely like homework. It's rare to find a game in which you are running arithmatic problems through your head so constantly, but always feeling like you're just playing an awesome, fast-paced arcade game. It provides the same kind of thrill as old-school arcade games like Asteroids, but also carries with it the nice, edifying feeling that you're honing your math skills at the same time. It's a pretty great accomplishment.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • If your kids are struggling with Super 7, play along with them. On the iPad, the screen is big enough for cooperative play.

  • Seek out other math-based games for your kids. Games are a great way for kids to review and show you what they're learning in school.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
