One times table, one rival, one new friend
Every times table lives as a sea creature in Ixilotl's underwater world – from the crab in the 2-times table to the giant squid as the final boss of the 10-times table. Master a table, and its rival becomes an ally.
Adaptive learning
Ixilotl continuously tracks where a child struggles and blends familiar tasks with new ones – so every session ends on a sense of success, not frustration.
True automaticity
The goal isn't solving a problem once, it's knowing the answer instantly. Repetition with purpose, not rote drilling.
Rewards for sticking with it
Diamonds are earned for genuine progress – a new best time, a task solved for the first time – as well as for regular practice. They unlock cosmetic customization for the app's look and sound, like effects, color themes, or audio sets. Kids love making their Ixilotl world their own.

Ixilotl accompanies the player as a character throughout the whole app – offering feedback, recommendations, and encouragement in dialogue.
Effective game mechanics, used responsibly
Ixilotl borrows the mechanics that make good games engaging to keep kids coming back to learning – without relying on manipulation to do it.
Daily tasks
Short daily and weekly tasks set achievable goals and reward regular practice – with no guilt-tripping or threats over a missed day.
Targeted practice missions
The app automatically detects which facts are still shaky and suggests focused missions for exactly those – instead of repeating everything at random.
A character that grows with you
Ixilotl itself grows alongside the child's progress and visibly reacts to streaks and breaks – a bond that motivates without adding pressure.
