"Lane, what's 7 times 8?"

Times tables,
out loud,
in the car.

A free game that asks the questions, listens for the answers, and turns every drive into practice the whole family enjoys.

iPhone, iPad, Android & web · No ads · Free

How it works

Nobody has to look at a screen.

Put the phone where it can hear everyone, tap Start, and play. Up to four players take turns: kids, parents, grandparents.

1

It asks out loud

"Dad, what's 9 times 6?" A natural voice built right into the app reads every question, no setup needed.

2

You say the answer

Just say "fifty-four." The app listens, scores it, and moves on. Say "repeat", "skip" or "pause" any time.

3

It teaches as you go

Miss one and you'll hear the answer plus a trick to remember it. That fact comes back a few turns later.

What families are saying

Parents are loving it.

Real posts on X after the game took off in November 2026. Tap any quote to read the original.

"If you have kids learning any math facts, I HIGHLY recommend this. My 8 yo and I have been playing it for 20 minutes while waiting for my other son to finish Speech and the 8 yo (who dislikes math) is loving every minute."
Kiki @heartsho2
"This is the kind of tech I like: like an old times table CD or tape you'd play in the car, but when you shout out your answer it's adaptive. Completely screen free for kids."
Bodil Isaksen @BodilUK
"We played @tstoliker's multiplication game on our last family road trip and spent the drive trying to beat each other. You can tell when something was made with love."
Joe Dearman @JRRDearman
"My buddy and his kid built this app to help learn multiplication tables in the car while you are driving (no screens). It's free and super cool. Try it with your kids!"
Jeff Deehan @Jeffdeehan
"I wish I had this when my kids were little. I used to be the one calling out the problem and trying to think of them while driving. This would have been much more fun."
Education-Consumers @EduConsumersFdn
"My kids already did this and it was wild. I have to admit I got 10/10 and they got 8/10, but they're six."
Appalachian Mama @EastTNMama
"This is very cool. I have been endlessly frustrated with the lack of easy and free math learning tools for kids. Great work."
WilliamLaw @HighPlainsWY
"I love this!! My son's best learning energy is in the car!!"

"Just downloaded! We have a Thanksgiving road trip coming up and this will be a perfect addition"

A coach for every player

Hard enough to learn.
Easy enough to keep winning.

The app learns what each player knows and picks questions they'll get right about 80% of the time, the sweet spot for learning.

  • Beginners start with the easy facts: 2s, 5s and 10s.
  • Experts get the tough ones, like 7 × 8 and 12 × 12, and a faster answer clock.
  • Variety built in. No number keeps coming back, and no two players get the same question in a game.
Who knows what: a 12 by 12 grid colored by how well each fact is known
⚖️

Fair for kids and grown-ups

Everyone plays at their own level, on their own clock. Points come from speed: they count down while you think, from 15 for an instant answer to 5 at the buzzer. Everyone has their own answer clock, so a seven-year-old can beat a parent.

Tips that make it click

Every miss comes with a trick.

Hearing the answer helps. Hearing why helps it stick. There's a trick for every table.

💡 Nines trick: take one away from 7 to get 6. Then 6 plus what makes 9? 3. So it's 63.
💡 Elevens trick: 11 times 4 is just two 4s side by side, 44.
💡 Remember five, six, seven, eight: 56 is 7 times 8!

Why I built this

I never learned my times tables. It has bugged me my whole life. I can do harder stuff, but I still stall on 7×8, and I did not want my son hitting the same wall I did.

The thing that finally made it click for me was simple. You cannot do the harder math if the easy facts are not already in your head. Your brain can only juggle a few things at once. If 7×8 is not already automatic, it has to stop and work out the fact in the middle of the bigger problem, and that is usually where it falls apart. Schools got talked out of memorization for a while. A lot of that got walked back. I wish someone had just had me memorize them.

So I built this so my son and I can play while we are driving, just by talking to it. We compete. A car ride turns into a game instead of a screen. I want him to have an easier time in math than I did, and I want us doing it together.

It was designed to be played by a parent and their child. But the whole family can play together, or you can even practice alone. And if you need to keep it quiet, there is a tap mode so you can answer without talking.

It also follows one of the rules of good teaching: the software adapts to the learner, keeping them engaged but still challenged. It adjusts so each player gets about 80% of their answers right. As you learn more, you get the problems that are harder for you, which reinforces your learning while keeping it fun.

And it is a game. The faster you answer, the more points you get. There is a leaderboard so you can see how you are all doing. And there is even a chart where you can see which times tables you have mastered and which ones you need help on.

This will always be free. It runs on free open-source software. I am not trying to make money on it. I built it for my family. If it helps another kid learn math and actually like it, that is the whole point.

Questions

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. It was made by a dad who wanted to learn his times tables alongside his son, and wanted other families to have it too.

What ages is it for?

Anyone learning or brushing up on their math facts (times tables, division, addition and subtraction), roughly ages 6 and up, including grown-ups. The coach adjusts to each player, so a beginner and an expert can play in the same game.

Does it need internet?

The iPhone and iPad app doesn't: the voice is built in, and on most devices speech recognition runs on the device too. The full Android app needs Wi-Fi once, to download its voice on first launch. The website, and the Android app that wraps it, need a connection.

What devices does it work on?

iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later), Android phones and tablets (Android 8 or later), and any computer or Chromebook in a web browser. See Get Times Table Road Trip.

Can we play without talking?

Yes. Choose "Tap it" on the home screen (or "Type it" on the website) to answer with a keypad or keyboard instead.

Is progress shared between devices?

On iPhone and iPad, your own devices signed in to the same Apple ID share players and progress through your iCloud. On every device, a parent can also sign in to save the family's scores online so they match everywhere, including the website (on iPhone and iPad: Settings → Family account, with Sign in with Apple or Google). It's always optional, and you can delete that account at any time.

Privacy policy

Nothing leaves your device unless you choose.

Last updated: October 12, 2026. The full privacy policy has every detail.

No ads, tracking or analytics. There are no third-party advertising, analytics or tracking tools anywhere in the game, and nothing is sold or shared.

No account needed. Player names, scores and learning progress are saved on your device (or in your browser on the website).

Saving scores online is optional. On the website and in the Android app, a parent can sign in so the family's scores match on every device (the iPhone and iPad app adds this in version 1.1). We then store the account's email, the players' names and animals, and their scores. You can delete the account and everything saved to it from Settings, or email us. Details.

Microphone and speech recognition. The game listens only while a question is being answered, to turn your spoken answer into a number. On most devices this happens on the device. We never receive the audio.

Children. The game is designed for families. Nothing is collected from anyone, including children, unless a parent chooses to save scores online or a player links their own (usually school) account.
