Running Total
Running Total is a maths maze puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.
Walk through a maze of rooms that add, subtract, double or halve your number, then leave holding the door's number. Rooms lock behind you, so a route can never cross itself, and par is the fewest rooms on any winning route. There are 60 levels in three grade bands and a daily maze that is the same for everyone.
How to play
- Tap a room next to you to walk in. Its sign changes your total
- Rooms lock behind you. Undo steps back one room
- Leave by the door holding exactly its number. Par is the fewest rooms
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Tap a room next door or drag a path; tap the door to leave
- Arrows or WASD walk, Backspace or Z undoes, R restarts the maze
Tips
- From level 3 the shortest walk to the door never wins, so plan a detour of at least two extra rooms before you set off.
- A halving room only lets you in on an even total, so arrive at it with an even number or it will turn you away.
- Totals must stay between 0 and the band's top of 20, 50 or 100, so double early while the number is still small.
How is par worked out?
The game's solver tries every route through the maze that never re-enters a room and keeps the fewest rooms that reach the door holding the target. Matching par earns three stars, two more rooms earn two stars, and any other finish earns one.
What are the three bands?
Levels 1 to 15 only add and subtract up to 5 with totals from 0 to 20. Levels 16 to 35 add doubling with totals up to 50, and levels 36 to 60 add halving with totals up to 100 on bigger mazes.
