Number Sequence

Spot the pattern and find the next number. Difficulty scales the trickiness; answer shows in the app.

Example

5, 10, 20, 40, __

What number comes next?

Answer (in the app): 80 — multiply by 2

🔒 The answer is never printed — it shows in the app (and via the page's QR code).

How to play

  1. Look at how the numbers change from one to the next. The jump might be adding, multiplying, or something trickier.
  2. Work out the rule, then write the next number.
  3. Check your answer in the app.

How it works

Fully procedural number pattern. Little kids count by 2s, 5s, and 10s; the middle levels add growing jumps, multiplying, squares, primes, and Fibonacci; the top levels use IQ-test rules like two woven sequences, jumps that are squares or primes, triple-then-subtract, and n³ − n. Harder levels show more numbers so there is exactly one sensible answer. Infinite variety, no content bank.

What you can set

Age dial (1–20): 1–4: small steps · 5–8: bigger steps, doubling · 9–12: squares, growing jumps · 13+: multi-rule and prime patterns.
