Über Lavendel: Einmaleins-Spiel
Lavender Times Tables is a maths game set in a lavender field at golden hour. Dot the bumblebee gathers nectar from lavender sprigs, and every sprig carries a times-table sum on its tag. Answer it and Dot zips over to collect it. There are three ways to play: the Meadow arcade, the Daily 20, and Hive Duel, a strategy board game built on multiplication.
In the Meadow each sprig wilts on its own timer, so you choose which sum to answer next: the one about to wilt, an easy one to keep your streak, or a golden sprig worth triple. Later sums hide a factor (? × 7 = 56). The Daily 20 gives everyone the same twenty sums each day to race and keep a streak.
So wird gespielt
- Meadow: type the answer to any sum on screen. Typing picks the sprig whose answer you finish, so there is no Enter key.
- Bigger sums, faster answers and higher levels score more. Every 5 in a row raises your multiplier, up to ×5. Golden sprigs score ×3; pink heart sprigs give back a heart.
- A wrong digit breaks your streak and hurries the other sprigs. A wilted lavender sprig costs one of your 3 hearts; the run ends when they are gone.
- Levels: Easy (tables 2–5 and 10), Medium (2–10), Hard (2–12 plus missing factors).
- Daily 20: the clock starts on your first key and each slip adds 5 seconds.
- Hive Duel: the board holds every product of two numbers from 1 to 9, and two markers sit on the 1–9 strip. On your turn move one marker and claim the cell for their product, if it is free. Four in a row, column or diagonal wins.
Steuerung
- Tastatur
- Number keys type an answer, Backspace deletes, Esc clears, Tab switches between Meadow, Daily 20 and Duel, L changes the level. In Hive Duel use the arrows and Enter, 1 or 2 to pick a way, H for a hint, N for a new game.
- Touch
- Tap the number pad to answer. In Hive Duel tap a glowing cell; if it can be made two ways, tap the one you want.
Tipps
- Answer the shortest wilt bar first unless a golden sprig is about to vanish.
- Missing-factor sums are division in disguise: for ? × 8 = 56, ask how many eights make 56.
- In Hive Duel, check which products your rival can reach from the markers you leave behind.
- Cells like 12, 18 and 24 can be made two ways, which lets you choose where the markers end up.
- In the Daily 20 accuracy beats speed: one slip costs 5 seconds.
