    I found a new game that lets the user create games for other users, 8bitmmo

    I need a math game for it.

    here is the setup:
    I have 14 possible answers, only one must be correct.(the rest will be traps)

    I have 7 clue signs (don't need 7, just there is room for 7)
    want player to read all clue signs to be able get answer.

    then player goes to answer block to get to next part of maze.

    number of answers and clues are variable dependent on game.

    since I am not a math fan, I do not know of any good math games that qualify.

    please help,
    thank you in advance.

    What did you mean by "math game"? Something useful for teaching specific skills (like the Pythagorean theorem), or something else? Can you give a rough example?

    oh, and it has to be relatively easy for all ages..

    something like:
    number is between x-x (duh between 1-14)
    number is prime
    number is divisible by x

    etc....

    How can we know what you want if you don't even know yourself?

    Try this and see if you can make it work.
    The game is played by two people, one knowing the "trick".
    The game is played by one player starting with a number between 1 to 10, and each player back and forth then adding a number from 1 to 10 to the previous total. The winner is the one who, within the rules, gets to say one hundred.

    You start and I will show you how it is played.

    and the form '5+2=' don't count

    How about if I just give you the "trick" equation, and let you determine if it will work in your game.

    In order to win every time, you must start with 1, or if you let the other person start, then add enough to their number to make the total equal a multiple of 11 plus 1. If they start with 1, you can lose if they know the equation, but if not, just get to a number that fits the equation as fast as you can.

    I don't know how that would work,
    it requires two ppl to input data dependent on the other persons answer. and the game is a one person game.

    when a person walks into this room they see 7 signs, these signs are gonna be clues as to which one of the 14 booths they must go into, if they go into the wrong booth they die.

    clues kinda need to be dependent on one another as to encourage reading all the clues, (in the example above '5+2=' would not work because it would make it too easy.)
    spreading them out putting '5' on one sign '+' on another then '2' on another is also unacceptable, also too easy.

    I could do:
    s1; 4
    s2; +1
    s3; -3
    s4; +5
    etc,
    s7; =

    but again this is too simple..
    (it does qualify for dependency on each sign to solve)


    im not married to just math as a vehicle for this game, I suppose other topics could work also, I just thought of math as common between all users.

    I could do trivia type like:

    How many times did the Israelites march around the temple before it fell?

    but I would think this too hard for the average user..(maybe?)


    <Even the Israelites were told to march around the walls of Jericho seven times, and their enemies would be defeated.>
