Grandma and Grandpa Numbertson are enjoying their twilight years in a sprawling home outside of town. Their lives are turned upside down after a gang of dragons overruns the house. With nowhere to turn, they call the Math Heroes: Maurice, the Whiz Kid; Romula, the Big Number Sis; Justice, the Pint-Sized Lady Hero; and Julian, the Baby Genius. Costumed, caped and masked and realistically rendered in 3D, they don their helmets for action and arrive at the house just in time.
Inside and outside the house, players are challenged with seven different math games to defeat the dragons. Each game has four levels of play: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Really Hard. Math Heroes vs Dragons also tracks several metrics of each player’s performance and can save and resume play for an unlimited number of different players. Stats can be viewed in the Player Data screen where heroes browse certificates accompanying their Progress and Game Awards. Completing a round without any mistakes scores a perfect. In addition to unlocking bonus video content, scoring a perfect in all of the games for a given difficulty level takes players into an awesome Boss Battle with one of the dragon leaders.
7 Built-In Games:
* Remote Integers – use the TV remote in the media room to enter the solution to addition and subtraction problems
* Problem Building – in the playroom, touch two of three numbered cupboards that correctly build an equation of the form ? x ? = x
* Fraction Felons – in the recreation room, move the dragon in the lineup that is holding the lowest fraction to the wanted poster
* Division Racing – in the courtyard, tap on the dragon number in the race that solves the basic division problem
* Multiple Madness – in the bathroom, pop the floating bubble that is a multiple of x
* Chalk Shapes – in the library, solve the perimeter or area problem on the chalkboard by moving the correct dragon to the door
