Lemma is a math game about exploring a continent of harbors, forests, cities and ruins. Every place is a new topic, from arithmetic to algebra and statistics, and each lesson you clear opens the way a little further.

The Lemma overworld map: Tally Harbor, Tally Lighthouse and Variata Forest

How it works

Every topic is a place on the map.

Each place on the map teaches one topic, from numeral systems in a lighthouse to geometry in the ruins of Meridian. Clear its lessons and the way on to the next place opens.

Places, not chapters

Every harbor, forest and city covers one area of math. You move on by clearing its lessons, not by turning a page, and the map fills in as you go.

Bronze, silver, gold

Each lesson is a short timed round, and your medal shows how well you know it. Come back for a better one whenever you like. Checkpoints test a whole stretch before you move on.

Built in order

Arithmetic, numeral systems, algebra, geometry, statistics and probability, each topic set up by the one before it. New lessons arrive with every update.

The world

It starts at the harbor.

Everyone starts at Tally Harbor. From there the road heads inland, and further on it splits, so you choose where to go next.

  1. I

    Tally Harbor

    Arithmetic

    The first stop. Order of operations, negative numbers, roots and exponents, fractions, decimals and percent.

  2. II

    Variata Forest

    Pre-Algebra

    Inland, under the pines. Ratios, variables, factoring and your first linear equations, then unit rates, percent change and interest.

  3. ?

    More lands beyond the forest

    Past the forest the road keeps going: farmland, a walled city, a fishing village, ruins on a headland, and islands out at sea. Each one is a subject of its own.
