About Manabies

After being introduced to Manabies at school, 41% of children kept practicing mathematics on their own at home — solving hundreds of problems each week, and some more than a thousand.

Manabies is an action-adventure math game for children aged 6-15, currently in early access. It turns math practice from a chore into gameplay: children play because they enjoy it, and learning happens as a consequence of play rather than a prerequisite.

What makes Manabies different is that mathematics is not layered on top of the game. It is woven into the core mechanics, where visual math operations become the tools players use to fight, explore, and progress.

Manabies is free on iOS, Android, and Windows, with an optional Premium subscription, no advertisements, and no disruptive monetization.

The Game

Players explore a world of floating islands inhabited by the Manabies, gathering resources, developing a flying home base, and finding, training, and evolving creatures between fast-paced arena battles.

The story gives that world an anchor. Vanessa, a young Guardian chosen by Vinea, a legendary Manabu, sets out to protect the Manabies, recover rare Manabu seeds, and push back the Wonderlings, the enemies that threaten the islands.

In the arena, graphical representations of mathematical operations are the tools players fight with. Solving challenges unlocks abilities, clears obstacles, and wins battles, so the more action-packed the mission, the more mathematics a player naturally solves. The reaction tends to be immediate: children focus on defeating enemies and mastering challenges, and solve hundreds of problems without ever being told to study.

Learning & Schools

Beyond the action, Manabies is built to teach well. Adaptive algorithms tune the level of challenge to each player so students experience steady success, which drives persistence and effort. The game reaches past rote memorization toward conceptual understanding: repeated addition, the commutative property of multiplication, area models, fractions, and other K-6 foundations.

The same mechanics that work at home make Manabies School Edition a practical classroom tool. A single activity can serve students still building multiplication fluency alongside those ready for more advanced work, and teachers see not only who answers correctly but who is building lasting understanding and who needs support.

Early access testing with students in the United States, Brazil, and across Europe points the same way. After being introduced to Manabies at school, 41% of students kept practicing mathematics on their own at home, voluntarily solving 700+ challenges per week on average, and some more than a thousand. Beyond fluency, teachers report the moment that matters most: children beginning to see themselves as capable mathematicians.
