How to Play QuickCalc ⚡
QuickCalc is a fast-paced mental math game that tests your calculation speed and accuracy. Answer equations correctly before the timer runs out! Difficulty scales in phases: Phase 1 (Q1-5) uses numbers 1-20 with +/- only, Phase 2 (Q6-10) adds multiplication with numbers up to 50, Phase 3 (Q11-15) includes division with numbers up to 100, and Phase 4 (Q16+) features 2-step equations with numbers up to 200. From question 8+, Operator Roulette may hide the operator — you must identify it for ×2 points! Scoring: correct answers earn 100 × phase points, plus speed bonus and streak bonus. Timer Extension (+5s) is always free, and Operator Hint narrows choices to 2.
