Twelve a Dozen Review

Posted: 8 months ago, last updated 3 weeks ago.

Author: @GeekDadGamer and Jo Robertson.

Overview

Twelve a Dozen (originally called just, Twelve) is a running and jumping game where you solve mathematical based logic problems to help Dot save her family. While many games use learning as a gate to the reward of some fun, Twelve integrates the maths challenges to the fun of playing.

By solving ever more complex conundrums, you not only get rewards but gain special powers that let you progress through the platform levels. There are 50 different levels that work through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This then moves on to negative numbers, factoring and algebraic operations.

"Don’t be put off by its claims of spreading maths to the masses – it never feels like a lecture. Any improvements to your number skills seem more like a happy coincidence, as Twelve a Dozen entertains more than it teaches."
