Mi-box Live is an award-winning hybrid board game that combines maths with sports to make learning numeracy fun and engaging. It merges physical board gameplay with a dynamic mobile app, allowing players to answer maths questions and race Sports (figures) athletes around a track. It's suitable for ages 5+, backed by Innovate UK, and officially recognised as a "Good Mathematical Toy" by educational psychologists.

The hybrid format blends screen time with hands-on, face-to-face learning. You play the physical board game while using the accompanying app to answer maths questions. Players select a track distance (100m, 200m, or 400m), choose an athlete character, and race around the board by answering numeracy questions correctly. The app tracks questions and provides immediate feedback.

Mi-box Live is suitable for ages 5 and 16+. It works for all skill levels and abilities. The app offers different difficulty levels: start at PRIME 5 for primary students (ages 5-11) and PRO 5 to Masters (GCSE Grade 6) for secondary students (ages 11-16), with the ability to progress upwards based on proficiency and a Multi-player option. 

In the times table maths sport challenge board game, players use times table cards from 0-20. A designated referee selects cards from a tray. Athletes solve the answers on the learning board. If correct, roll the dice and race around the track. Game play is done in rounds. The player to cross the finish line the furthest from the dice role is the winner.
