Learn times tables too. Your child already wants to chat to their friends. Now they can, and do times tables at the same time. Multiplayer games with siblings, schoolmates and real friends. Chat is built in, safeguarding is built in, and every message is visible to you. Start playing [See how rewards work](/OurRewards) ## Why multiplayer with friends beats random matchmaking Most learning apps pair your child with a random stranger. We do not. Your child plays real multiplayer times tables games with friends, siblings and schoolmates , and that changes everything. ### They actually want to play Playing a multiplayer game with a real friend is exciting. Playing with a random stranger is not. When your child is playing with someone they know, they want to come back, and every game is a times tables session. ### Chat makes it social Children want to chat. In most apps, chat is either missing or unmoderated. Here, they can talk to their friend during the game: tease, celebrate, plan their next move. It is the social connection that keeps them engaged in the maths. ### Friendly rivalry drives effort Beating a random stranger means nothing. Beating your sibling or best friend means everything. That friendly rivalry makes children try harder, and trying harder means more times tables practice. ### They know each other's level Friends and siblings know each other's abilities. A younger child is not crushed by an older one. They adjust, encourage, and play at a level that works. No random matching that is too hard or too easy. ### They keep each other coming back "Play me!" is the most powerful motivator there is. When a friend or sibling sends a challenge, your child wants to accept. That social pull keeps them practising, without you having to nag. ### No strangers, ever There is no matchmaking with random people. Your child only plays with people you have approved: siblings, schoolmates, or friends added via a private code. You are in control of who is in the squad. ## The chat is the magic Children want to chat. Most learning apps either remove chat entirely or leave it unmoderated. We did something different: we let them chat freely, and we show you everything. But here is the key: chat is locked until your child has played their turn. They cannot just open the app and message friends. They have to answer a multiplication question first, every time. So every chat message is tied to real maths practice. 💬 ### Chat is locked until they play Your child cannot just open the app to message friends. They have to answer a maths question first, so every chat is tied to real practice. 👁️ ### You see every message Full chat logs in your dashboard. No message is hidden, no conversation is deleted. 🛡️ ### Wellbeing reports Our engine analyses every message for kindness, confidence, bullying and anxiety, and gives you a warm summary. ## How multiplayer times tables games work Your child opens their squad, taps New Game , picks a times tables game, picks a friend, and the challenge lands instantly.

No public directory. No way to add a stranger. Friends join the squad in one of three ways: ### Siblings: automatic Add more than one child to your family account and they are instantly in each other's squad. No setup needed. ### School friends: by code Enter a school code and classmates whose parents have enabled discovery appear. Both parents must opt in. ### Other friends: by player code Your child needs their friend's full name and private XTC player code. Both children must accept, so no one-sided adding. ## Always in the know Every chat message is saved and analysed. You get full visibility and a warm, school-report-style summary of how your child is doing socially. ### Full chat logs Every message your child sends and receives is saved. You can read the full conversation history in your parent dashboard. No message is hidden. ### Who they talk to most See which friends your child chats with the most, how many messages they have exchanged, and how active each friendship is. ### Parents can turn chat off One toggle in your parent dashboard turns chat off completely for your child. No messages sent, no messages received, just the game. ### Wellbeing monitoring Our engine analyses every message for kindness, confidence, bullying and anxiety, and gives you a warm, school-report-style summary. ## Siblings learn better together Add more than one child to your family account and they are instantly in each other's squad, ready to challenge, chat and learn. Research shows this is not just fun. It is one of the most powerful learning setups there is. 80% of the time, older siblings naturally teach younger ones during informal play at home, building maths understanding for both. Concordia University, Infant and Child Development (2016) Higher Younger siblings of high-achieving older children score higher in maths and reading by middle school: the "sibling spillover" effect. Yale University, American Journal of Sociology (2023) 2x the learning: the older child deepens their understanding by teaching, while the younger child picks up maths earlier than they would alone. Concordia University, Infant and Child Development (2016) ### Younger kids learn earlier Research from Concordia University found that "by the time children enter school, they have already become familiar with certain mathematical concepts because they spend so much time playing together at home." Older siblings naturally teach younger ones, and the younger ones pick up maths years ahead of where they would be on their own. ### Something to do at home Instead of siblings arguing over the TV or retreating to separate screens, they can challenge each other to a multiplayer times tables game. It is something they can do together, and it is maths practice disguised as a sibling rivalry. ### Family games that get parents involved Bingo supports up to 30 players, so the whole family can join. Mum, Dad, grandparents, cousins, siblings: everyone plays at the same time, each on their own board. It is a family game night that happens to be times tables practice. ### Work towards rewards together Every child earns coins as they play, and both siblings can redeem coins for real-world family rewards you set: "football with Dad", "movie night of your choice", "hot chocolate together", "choose dinner tonight". So both children are motivated to play, and both can earn quality family time.
