Math skills and prerequisites
What this game practices
- Keep a running sum of selected values
- Find the amount still needed to reach a target
- Choose a combination from the values currently available
Explore: Addition · Number bonds & target sums · Logic & deduction
Before playing
- Read whole numbers
- Add several small numbers and compare a sum with a target
Getting started
Open Egg Conveyor from the Arcade and press PLAY for a new run. If a saved run is offered, RESUME continues it.
Guests can play. A verified account and selected player profile are required for persistent platform coin rewards.
How to play
- Read MAKE at the top and TARGET, CURRENT, and NEED above the carton.
- Tap or click a moving egg to add it, or drag it into the carton.
- Add another egg only after checking the amount still needed. Before completion, tap a carton egg to remove it if necessary.
- An exact total completes automatically and brings in a fresh target; there is no submit button.
- Going over the target costs one of your three lives and resets the carton. It also breaks the streak.
- Continue until the third overshoot, then read the final score and use PLAY AGAIN if desired.
TRY THE REASONING
Worked example
Fill a carton to twelve
- The target is 12 and CURRENT is 0.
- Add an egg worth 7. CURRENT becomes 7 and NEED becomes 5.
- Wait for an available egg worth 5 and add it: 7 + 5 = 12.
- The carton completes immediately. An egg worth 6 would instead make 13 and cost a life.
Use the remaining amount to choose the next egg, rather than filling the carton with every egg that passes.
Scoring, success and round endings
- Each exact carton scores its target multiplied by the streak multiplier. The multiplier rises after each three consecutive cartons, up to ×5.
- Completing a carton in under seven seconds adds eight game points. Overshooting resets the streak.
- The belt gradually speeds up and later targets can need more eggs. Letting an egg pass does not cost a life, and there is no per-carton timeout.
- An eligible profile earns 40 platform coins per exact completed carton, independently of game points, speed, or streak.
Modes, settings and progression
Continuous conveyor run
One progressively faster run with three lives. PLAY starts fresh; RESUME is offered when an appropriate saved run is available.
Strategies and troubleshooting
- Passing eggs come around again; wait for a useful value instead of risking an overshoot.
- Removing an egg from the carton changes the running total, but the egg is not immediately put back on the belt.
- Tap controls and dragging both work. On a phone, keep the drop inside the carton area.
- Aim for exact sums first; faster completion affects game points rather than the fixed platform reward.
Classroom and home use
Suggested activity: One partner names the amount still needed and the other chooses an egg. Swap roles after an exact carton, then explain any correction made by removing an egg.
Questions to discuss
- How much more is needed?
- Which two available values could make the target?
- Why is waiting safer than taking this egg?
This is a teaching suggestion, not an extra mode or a promised learning outcome.
Play and progress
Guest play does not require an account. For shared arcade coin rewards, use a verified account with an active player profile. Game scores and shared coins are different; only confirmed platform awards update the shared balance. Follow each game’s guide for its own restart and resume behavior.
