QuillQuest: Spelling & Math

Malcom IO

About this app

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

QuillQuest turns practice into an adventure. Pick a subject: in Spelling, hear a word in a clear, natural 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; in Division, turn those same tables around and work back down. They share one map, one buddy, and one set of stars — kids choose what to play next.

It grows with each kid. QuillQuest starts each kid at a level that fits their age, then 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 clear, natural 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
• Division shows you the multiplication fact behind it, because that is how you work it out: 7 times 8 is 56, so 56 divided by 7 is 8
• Earn ranks, unlock new themes, and collect badges across every subject

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, what to work on in every subject, and how much they've already fixed
• Daily goal starts at 20 answers — change it or switch it off anytime. Reminders stay off unless you turn them on

Two devices? Optional syncing
• Carry progress between a phone and a tablet with a short code — no account, no email, no password
• Off unless a grown-up switches it on, behind a question a young child won't get past
• Only game progress and their cartoon buddy are uploaded — never your child's name or age

School spelling lists, if a teacher uses them
• A teacher hands out a three-character code — type it in and that week's 24 words become a card on the Spelling screen
• Practice them a little each day until every word comes out clean, then take the Final check
• No account, no sign-up, and a grown-up can remove the list at any time
• Nothing about your child leaves the device — unless a grown-up has turned syncing on, and then it is only which list and week they are on, carried with the rest of their progress under the same anonymous code
• Everything else in the game stays exactly as it was

Parents can relax
• Plays offline — no internet needed to play (extra voices & spoken example sentences download once, then live on the device)
• No ads. No tracking. No sign-in. No chat or links out.
• No accounts, ever — syncing uses a code you can throw away, not a login
• Free, with no in-app purchases
• Made by a parent who wanted practice their own kids would actually choose
• Privacy policy: https://quillquest.net/privacy

What’s new

Got a code from school? Type it yourself, right on the home screen. School words: the list shows on every subject's screen, the Final Check opens at 18 of 24 words (one sit a day), Sentence and Define no longer count against the week, and every earlier unit can be played.

A grown-up is asked only when a code would replace a week someone has started.

British spellings count on eleven more words, practised and aeroplane among them. Large text no longer pushes the round off the screen.
