Neon Clash: win the arena, power up with maths

Neon Clash is a 3-versus-3 arena brawl where maths powers the hero. Children pick a hero, play a two-and-a-half-minute match, then visit the Forge, where quick maths questions earn the gears that upgrade their heroes. Winning feeds the maths, and the maths feeds the next win.

How to play

  1. Choose a hero. Three heroes are free to start, and the other five unlock with gears.
  2. Pick an arena (Rooftops, Plaza or Core) or leave it on Random, then press Play for a 3v3 match that lasts 150 seconds.
  3. After the match, head to the Forge and strike the anvil. Answer 5 quick maths questions to earn gears: 10 for each correct answer, plus a bonus for fast ones.
  4. Winning the match boosts the gears you earn at the Forge by half again.
  5. Spend gears to unlock new heroes and to upgrade Power (+8% weapon damage), Armour (+8% health) and Super charge (+10% super gain).

Why it works

Arena games grab children's attention, but the only way to get stronger in Neon Clash is the Forge, so every upgrade is paid for with correct maths. The round trip is short, a 2.5-minute match then 5 questions, which suits quick practice sessions. Players can choose the Forge topic, so a parent can steer the practice toward times tables or any other skill.

Questions parents ask

Is Neon Clash safe for young children?

Yes. It is a cartoon neon brawl with no blood and no chat with strangers. Matches are against computer-controlled opponents.

Do you have to be good at maths to win?

The match itself is a skill game. Maths comes in at the Forge, where correct answers earn gears for upgrades, so better maths makes the hero stronger for the next match.

How many heroes and arenas are there?

There are 8 heroes, with 3 available from the start, and 3 arenas: Rooftops, Plaza and Core.

Is progress saved?

Guests keep progress on their own device. Signing up saves heroes, upgrades and gears to the account.
