QuillQuest: Spelling & Math

Malcom IO

About this app

Two ways to play — spelling and times tables, in one app.

QuillQuest turns practice into an adventure. Pick a realm: in Spelling, hear a word in a real recorded voice and spell it out letter by letter; in Times Tables, answer on a number pad and climb a trail from the Trailhead to the Summit. Both share one map, one buddy, and one set of stars — kids choose what to play, and nothing is ever assigned.

It grows with each kid
QuillQuest places every kid by level and adapts as they improve — from first tricky words and easy doubles to spelling-bee stumpers and the toughest facts (6×7, 7×8…). New levels open when you master the last one, not by grinding points, and anything you miss comes back on a smart review schedule until it's locked in. Great for grades 3–8 (roughly ages 8–14) — younger and older learners fit right in too.

Feedback that teaches
• Spelling reads every word aloud in a real recorded voice — stuck? hear it again, use it in a sentence, or see what it means
• Times Tables shows the answer and a skip-count when you miss — never a harsh buzzer
• Earn ranks, unlock new themes, and collect badges across both subjects

Made for families
• Give each kid their own profile — separate progress, streaks, character, and a make-your-own avatar
• A grown-up dashboard shows how they're doing and each kid's trouble spots
• Optional daily goals and reminders — off by default, always your call

Parents can relax
• Works completely offline — no internet needed to play, ever
• No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No sign-in. No chat or links out.
• Free, with no in-app purchases
• Made by a parent who wanted practice their own kids would actually choose

What’s new

Better example sentences. We reviewed every sentence the app reads aloud and rewrote the ones that weren't right for kids.

Small text is easier to read in every theme.

Grown-ups only: the parent dashboard and "Reset all progress" now ask a question only a grown-up will bother answering.

Tablets now rotate — landscape gets a two-column layout, progress on the left and levels on the right. Phones stay portrait.
