Game Info for Teachers

Description

The Multiplication Express is a 2D railroad puzzle game where players become junior train conductors and lay down track tiles to solve multi-digit multiplication problems. Each level presents a problem like 35 × 28, and players work through the standard algorithm one digit at a time, placing numbered tiles into the correct place-value columns. When a row is complete, a colorful locomotive runs across the track — if every digit is right, the train delivers its cargo with whistle, steam, and confetti; if a digit is wrong, the train stops with sparks and the conductor offers a hint tied to that specific step. There is no timer, and players earn up to three Railroad Medals per level based on accuracy, not speed. The game covers all the multiplication ranges in standard 5.NBT.B.5 — from 1-digit × 2-digit up to 2-digit × 4-digit — culminating in a boss-round delivery on the Final Express.
