Multiply Quest: free times tables flashcard game for kids
Multiply Quest is a free online game that helps children learn their multiplication tables. It is made for elementary school children, typically ages 7 to 10 (grades 2 to 5), such as an 8 or 9 year old who is learning or struggling with times tables. It works like digital flashcards: a multiplication problem appears, a timer counts down, and the child answers as fast as they can.

What it does
- Timed flashcards for every multiplication fact from 0 × 0 to 12 × 12.
- Pick the tables to practice, such as only the 6, 7 and 8 times tables.
- Two answer modes: multiple choice (tap one of three answers) or type the answer on a number pad.
- Learn from mistakes: each round ends with the facts that were missed, and tapping one shows the answer.
- Also division, addition and subtraction: it starts on multiplication, and a parent can switch to any of the other three with the same numbers from 0 to 12.
- Session stats to share: a simple dashboard of the current session (score, average time, facts to practice) that can be shared with a teacher or parent.
- Streaks and prizes: celebrations for answers in a row, and a prize the parent sets for perfect rounds.
- Free: no sign-up, no ads, nothing to install. Works on iPhone, iPad, Android and computers.
How it helps a child learn multiplication
Knowing times tables by heart comes from quick, repeated recall. Multiply Quest keeps rounds short (10 cards by default, about a minute) so a child can practice a little every day. Only answers that are right on the first try, before the timer runs out, count as correct. When time runs out the correct answer is shown. At the end of each round the child sees the facts they missed and can tap each one to reveal the answer.
To keep practice from feeling like a chore, getting several answers right in a row sets off on-screen celebrations, and a parent can set a real prize for a number of perfect rounds.
Division, addition and subtraction too
Multiply Quest starts on multiplication, and a parent can switch it to division, addition or subtraction in Settings. The timer, rounds, streaks, prize and the choice of numbers from 0 to 12 all work the same way. Subtraction problems never go below zero (for example 13 − 6), and division problems always come out even (for example 42 ÷ 6).
Session stats you can share
The 📊 button on the home screen opens a dashboard for the current session: the share of answers that were right first try, cards answered, average answer time, rounds played, and the facts that were missed most. A Share button sends that summary as a message or email, for example to a teacher. The session starts fresh each time the page is opened, and it can be reset at any time.

Questions and answers
What is Multiply Quest?
Multiply Quest is a free online times tables practice game. It works like digital flashcards: a multiplication problem appears, a timer counts down, and the child answers as quickly as they can. It runs in any web browser on phones, tablets and computers.
What age or grade is it for?
It is designed for elementary school children learning their multiplication tables, typically ages 7 to 10 (grades 2 to 5, or Years 3 to 6). A parent or teacher chooses which tables to practice, so it suits beginners and children who need extra practice alike.
Which times tables does it cover?
All tables from 0 to 12. In Parent Settings you can switch individual tables on or off, so a child can practice only the tables they are working on, for example just the 6, 7 and 8 times tables.
Is Multiply Quest free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no account, no sign-up, no ads and no app to install.
How does it help children learn multiplication facts?
It uses short, timed, repeated practice, the same idea as paper flashcards, to build quick recall of multiplication facts. Only first-try answers count as correct, each round ends with the facts that were missed so they can be reviewed, and streaks, celebrations and a parent-set prize keep children motivated to come back.
What are the two answer modes?
Multiple choice shows three possible answers to tap, which is easier for beginners. Type the answer shows a number pad and the child enters the answer themselves, which is harder and closer to a school test.
What can parents and teachers change?
The seconds allowed per card, the number of cards in a round, which times tables are included, the answer mode, the prize and how many perfect rounds are needed to win it, whether perfect rounds must be in a row, and whether celebration effects are on.
Does it collect personal information?
No. There are no accounts and it does not ask for names or emails. Settings and progress are stored only in the browser on the device. The site counts anonymous visits.
