Villains lurk in the streets of Infinity City. Our only hope is the Numbers League. Assemble a team of superheroes and use the sum of their incredible powers and ingenious devices to capture as many villains as you can.
In Numbers League, clever use of basic math skills will save the day. The more you play the sharper these skills will become until no villain is safe from your numerical onslaught.
Ages 5 and up. The Minion-level game can be mastered by a five year old, the Superhero-level game will challenge even math-savvy parents and teachers, and Custom levels allow for a learning experience anywhere in between.
Play with your family, your friends, or by yourself-- up to four players can play on a single iPad.
Also, three robots of different skill levels are ready to join in any game.
Tally ho! Use your fingers, use your toes. Use a pencil and a piece of paper if you like. Use the hint feature to show you what’s possible and a timer if you want to make the game even more challenging.

"The Numbers League app is an incredibly fun way to practice your basic math facts. The combination of arithmetic and wacky comic book-style superheroes will draw in even the most reluctant child. My kids beg to play this game. The app is also a perfect electronic representation of the original Numbers League card game. I recommend this to anyone from age 5 to adult. Kids aren't necessary to enjoy this challenging game."

The kids love it!! And I love that they are learning!!

My six and eight year olds are both getting dressed, eating breakfast, and BEHAVING so they can play before going to school!! What they don't know is they are learning while they are playing. It's too fun for them to notice. Good thing we have two iPads.
Fantastic iPad embodiment of great math game.

Educational, entertaining, and fun. Numbers league takes a great educational card game and makes it a delightful iPad app. It's easy to play and really re-enforces foundational math skills.
So entertaining, you forget it is educational!

This is a fantastic app that is not only super fun, but is sure to improve math skills for kids (and adults!) without them even realizing it. There are different levels with increasing difficulty so you can choose how much you want to concentrate. I specially enjoy the high quality graphics and sound effects, they are fresh and unique. Highly recommended!
Very fun

I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay and the amusing combinations. The artwork is fantastic. I look forward to more from this company.
I'd love to see every schoolchild have this!

My 5 year old daughter *loves* this game. She's up through the second level and is starting to learn subtraction without me asking her to do anything. I skipped ahead a few levels to see myself what's happening and by the time she completes the game she'll have to know addition, subtraction, and multiplication up to 50, plus negative numbers and zero. It's pretty remarkable watching her figure out how to count in order to beat the game - somehow she uses her fingers to count numbers up to above 20, which I still can't figure out. She gets it right, though. Anyway, kudos to the developers, this is one of the first games that has got my daughter fired up and learning math without knowing it.
We LOVE Numbers League!

"Ooh ahh" is the oh-so-satisfying sound you will hear if you make the elusive five point villain capture in Numbers League. My three children love to play against each other and their Mom and Dad to see who can make the highest point captures. This game is a fun way to develop basic math skills (e.g., addition, subtraction, and multiplication) as well as improving mental math for our too-calculator-dependent society. At higher levels of the game, players are challenged to use working memory, planning, and some early algebra. All of this is presented with wonderful artwork and great music and sound effects. I highly recommend this app.
Options options options!!

My favorite thing about this game is how adaptable it is. There is a whole page of game levels, one of which is customizable to add skill concepts on demand. The options page is my friend! Kids love the ‘dynamic’ setting so they can watch all animations, but I get impatient so I like to set it to ‘fast’ or ‘simple’ for shorter or fewer animations. When I want an extra challenge I set the timer and being able to ‘charge’ for hints make me think twice before I hit that button. I love this game! If Math is a superhero Numbers League is the secret identity it cleverly hides behind. I tend to forget I’m doing math!
Let the kids play and play...

...normally I limit my kids (girl 9, boy 7) to maybe 20min sessions on their DS or Wii. With Numbers League they can play until the batteries die...it's that rare combination of fun/challenging game play that's also good for you. The kids love it and as a parent I love that they are learning. Its win-win. The graphics, music and voice effects are outstanding. Hands down the best edutainment money I have spent.
A fantastic purchase

This is without a doubt the coolest iPad math app we've purchased. Our kids love it, and in fact are becoming somewhat addicted to it, all the while learning! Thanks Bent Castle! Can't wait for more apps targeted to the high achieving homeschoolers!
