At Greyland Games, our mission has always been to bring innovation to education—making learning more engaging, interactive, and effective. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our game demo, Numeris (pending), marking an exciting new chapter in our journey as a gaming studio. With this project, we’ve ventured into creating an imaginative educational experience inspired by a story close to home.
The inspiration for Numeris began with our founder and CEO, Katerina Crawford, and her personal connection to the challenges of learning. Kat’s daughter struggled with staying focused when memorizing her times tables in math class. Driven by her desire to help her daughter—and millions of other learners like her—Kat envisioned a solution that turns memorization into a fun and visual experience.
“My daughter sometimes struggles with staying focused when it comes to memorizing things like foreign language vocabulary or multiplication tables,” shares Kat. “So I created a paper card story game packed with spells and magical creatures to help her visualize numbers in a more concrete way. And with the help of my amazing team Bianca Jalonen and Aki Kurvinen it is coming to life in a digital version. We have a first level demo ready for others to try.”
Crafting the MagicTo bring Kat’s vision to life, two remarkable talents from our team joined forces—Bianca Jalonen, our lead game artist and art director, and Aki Kurvinen, the brilliant mind behind the game mechanics.
Bianca Jalonen was tasked with conceptualizing the world and its enchanting inhabitants. Her ability to infuse personality and life into characters and settings has created an immersive visual universe that blends magic and math seamlessly. Bianca’s artistry not only shaped the look and feel of Numeris but also helped refine Kat’s storyline into a cohesive and compelling narrative.
Meanwhile, Aki Kurvinen translated these ideas into an engaging and intuitive gaming experience. By integrating game mechanics that challenge players to think critically while having fun, Aki has ensured that Numeris offers both educational value and pure enjoyment.
Enter the World of NumerisDeep in the enchanted land of Numeris, three unlikely heroes arise to save their world from doom. Meet Whisker, the wise and nimble cat whose quick thinking can outsmart any foe; Nimbus, the brave and clever mouse who never backs down from a challenge; and Ember, the fiery and resourceful fox with a sharp mind for puzzles.
Once the apprentices of the wise Great Owl, Osborne, these three wizards were left with one final mission before Osborne fell into darkness: unlock the power of times tables to restore balance to the land and defeat him before it’s too late…
To conquer each level, players use enchanted scrolls with shimmering countable objects—mushrooms, moths, unicorn tears, and more—to unlock the magic of multiplication. These scrolls hold the key to casting powerful spells, but the journey is full of challenges!
Glowing potion bottles amplify your spells, helping to solve tougher problems. By mastering numbers and multiplying wisely, players move closer to defeating the villainous bosses and restoring balance to the land.
Each level of Numeris brings an exciting new ally—a magical creature with a special connection to numbers. These creatures embody the numbers players must master to overcome their challenges. These companions don’t just look incredible—they’re invaluable in battle.
They channel the power of their numbers to strengthen your wizard hero’s spells and tip the scales in your favor. The stronger your multiplication skills, the more formidable your magical creature becomes, empowering players to take on even the fiercest bosses in Osborne’s army.
Numeris transforms math into an interactive adventure, turning times tables into tools of magic and discovery. By solving problems and casting spells, kids naturally practice multiplication in a hands-on way, making learning fun and unforgettable.
Experience the DemoWe’re excited for you to dive into Numeris and experience this magical learning adventure firsthand. The demo is a sneak peek into what we hope will be the start of a groundbreaking educational tool. We’re looking for curious adventurers to help us perfect the magic. Families with young wizards-in-training or schools seeking a fun, educational classroom tool will love this innovative game.
If you’re ready to cast spells, save the world, and master math like never before, get in touch today! Join the journey, share your feedback, and help bring Numeris to life.
Stay tuned as we work towards completing Numeris and building even more innovative educational games. This is just the beginning, and we are so glad you’re here to share the journey with us.
Let’s make learning magical—together!
