Tally Town is RITA Quest's world of gentle number games for early learners. It works alongside Band Quest (our reading world): children pick a world, then play short rounds that start very simply and grow with them, one level at a time.
Count the ducks, chicks, fish and other friends on screen, then tap the right number.
The game says a number out loud; your child taps the matching number. Great for linking the sound and the numeral.
Spot which number is missing from a row and pick it from several choices. Later levels count in 2s, 5s and 10s.
Drag the numbers into the right order — smallest first, and from the middle levels on, sometimes biggest first. Tapping a number then a space works too.
Little groups of ducks and friends join together (adding) or hop away (taking away), and your child finds how many.
Every child starts on the first level and works up. A level decides how big the numbers get, which games are open, and how many questions are in a round. The starting path looks like this:
| Level | Numbers | What's new |
|---|---|---|
| 1. 🌱 Tiny Seeds | 1–3 | Count It, Hear It |
| 2. 🌿 Little Sprouts | 1–5 | adds Find the Missing Number |
| 3. 🌷 Busy Buds | 1–5 | adds Numbers in Order and Add & Take |
| 4. 🌼 Bright Blooms | 1–10 | Add & Take now includes taking away |
| 5. 🌳 Happy Hedges | 1–20 | Numbers in Order also goes biggest-first |
| 6. 🐇 Skip & Hop | 2–30 | counting in 2s |
| 7. ⛰️ High Hills | 5–50 | counting in 5s |
| 8. 🚀 Sky High | 10–100 | counting in 10s |
The RITA Quest team can fine-tune these levels over time, so the exact numbers and games may shift a little.
A round is a handful of questions. A wrong tap never ends a question — your child keeps trying until they find the answer — but only answers right first time count towards the score. Score enough (80% by default) and the round is a win, earning up to three stars.
Example: on Tiny Seeds, two winning rounds in a row unlock Little Sprouts. Later levels ask for three wins in a row. A round that doesn't pass simply resets the streak — nothing is lost, and the next round starts fresh.
On the Tally Town page, your child can tap any finished level to play it again just for fun. Practice rounds earn stars but never change their level, so it's a low-pressure way to build confidence.
Open a child's Progress page and look for the Tally Town card. It shows their current level, how many winning rounds they need to level up, stars collected, how accurate they are in each game (right first time), and their most recent rounds. It's a quick way to spot which game needs a little extra practice.
Count the ducks, listen for the number, find the missing one, put the numbers in order — and add friends together! Try your best and get as many right first time as you can. Wrong? No worries, just tap again. Win a few rounds and you'll reach a brand-new level!
