DiscreteQuest
Exploration game teaching graph theory, combinatorics, and number theory through real-world mysteries. Includes AMC 8/MATHCOUNTS competition timer mode. First gamified discrete math app for ages 9-14.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
#29B6F6 DiscreteQuest teaches you the coolest math you have never heard of -- discrete math! Solve mysteries using graph theory, figure out how to count impossible things with combinatorics, and discover hidden patterns with number theory. Plus, practice for real math competitions like AMC 8 and MATHCOUNTS.
Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
Habgood intrinsic-integration test: **the character's behavior IS the discrete pattern**.
Sortie the Set-Curator
Sets, subsets, set operations (union, intersection, difference)
Tally the Pattern-Counter
Counting principles and combinatorics (multiplication rule, permutations, combinations)
Verity the Truth-Tester
Propositional logic, truth tables, AND/OR/NOT operators
Wander the Bridge-Walker
Graph theory — Eulerian paths, Hamiltonian paths, connectivity
Coil the Self-Reference
Recursion and sequences (Fibonacci, factorials, recursive patterns)
Prime the Indivisible
Number theory — primes, factorization, modular arithmetic
What's inside
Mystery Missions
Each mission is a real-world mystery that needs math to solve. Help fix a broken computer network (graph theory), plan a tournament schedule (combinatorics), or
Graph Explorer
Draw and explore networks of dots and lines. Find the shortest path between cities, figure out if a maze can be solved, and discover how social networks connect
Competition Mode
Practice for AMC 8 and MATHCOUNTS with timed problems that match real competition formats. Track your scores and watch yourself improve over time.
Number Lab
Explore prime numbers, factors, and patterns with interactive tools. Find out why some numbers are special and discover relationships between them.
Mentored by Vertex — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How DiscreteQuest handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ No ads, no in-app purchases — you pay once
- ✅ COPPA compliant under the 2026 FTC amendments
- ✅ Parental controls + session limits + content filters built in
DiscreteQuest runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
