Chicken Math: Kids Counting

Built by a dad for his two boys — now for every kid. Count chicks, beat bosses and fall in love with numbers. No ads, no tracking.

I didn't build this game for the App Store. I built it for my two boys, who would rather fight bosses in the evening than count to ten. Now they do both at once — and they've never been better at math.

Chicken Math is built on one simple idea: math isn't the chore a kid has to finish before playing. Math IS the game.

HOW IT PLAYS You guide a mother hen collecting chicks. Every gate is a choice: 3 or 7? Pick the bigger one — and your flock grows. Every boss is a picture puzzle: a mole digs four molehills and two worms sit on each one. How many worms? The kid who counts, wins — not with a gold star, but with a bigger flock and a beaten dragon.

EVERYTHING IS SPOKEN ALOUD The game is designed for children who can't read yet. Every task, every count, every number is spoken in English or Czech. Quantities are always visible — chicks, apples, drops of honey — and always paired with the digit, so the two connect.

A MISTAKE NEVER STOPS THE GAME A wrong answer doesn't mean a red X and game over. It means a smaller flock — and an immediate next chance. Calm counting is separated from action: when it's time to count, nobody shoots at you.

WHAT'S INSIDE • 7 training sections: comparing, addition, subtraction, plus & minus, multiplication, division, and a grand mixed exam • 105 levels with rising difficulty: calm rounds, time trials and high-stakes rounds • 25 bosses, each with its own picture mechanic — a squirrel thief steals apples off a hedgehog's spines, the bee queen fills honeycombs drop by drop, a frog hops along the number line • 4 toy weapons and upgrades paid for with collected chicks • 18 badges and progress statistics for parents (success per section, day-by-day trend) • a parental section with a daily play limit

FOR PARENTS No ads. No tracking. No data collection — everything stays on the device. There is a single one-time purchase, hidden behind a parental gate. The first comparing and addition levels are free forever.

There is great power in numbers. I gave it to my sons — now I'm passing it on to you.
