"Quanta's Hyperjumps: A Math Game Revival"

Quanta Magazine has relaunched its Hyperjumps math game, set in the year 2718, where players use arithmetic to navigate a warp-drive-equipped starship to distant solar systems. The game, designed by Pradeep Mutalik, has been simplified based on player feedback, allowing players to create sequences with as few as three exoplanet numbers using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Players can accumulate points, level up, and save their game progress and historical stats by logging into Quanta’s website. The game is part of Quanta’s puzzle offerings, which have been a long-standing feature of the magazine, and comes as the Insights puzzle series is being phased out after seven years.
