Arithmagicians

Ebrahim Tafti set out to develop a new fun, game based learning experience, and what started out as a paper based idea, soon became “Arithmagicians”. The game based learning website challenges students to enhance their mental maths skills by racing against the clock to answer challenging maths questions, and improving their status from “Rookie” all the way to “Super Genie”.

To bring this idea and project to life, The Curve were tasked with developing a web-based game which was required to be an engaging and scalable MVP. The Curve worked with Ebrahim to build a website that would enable students to practice and learn mental mathematics skills in preparation for SATs and future learning, whilst still ensuring that students enjoyed themselves as they did so.

A variety of technologies were used to build the Arithmagicians product, including Ruby on Rails for the core web application and React for the more interactive elements like the games and user log-in section. In order to enhance the experience and engagment, it was important to ensure that students could access areas such as challenges, customisation options and leaderboards.
