Prodigy Math Game is a free math game for children of grades 1-8 to practice math at home and school[6][7] originating from Ontario, Canada.[8] It was released in 2011 and has significantly grown since,[9] [10] reaching 50 million players as of July 2020. [11]
Gameplay
The player's objective is to explore the world as a young wizard and battle monsters by solving arithmetic problems to cast a spell.[12] The math questions are aligned by the grade and state selected at the account creation process.[13] [14] [15] The main antagonist of Prodigy Math Game is the "Puppet Master", an evil entity attempting to control all the pets, to destroy the island. His sidekick is known as "Pippet", an evil puppet.[16] The player's role in Prodigy is to rescue the pets,[17] save the "guardians" of the zones, and defeat the Puppet Master and Pippet.[18] [19] By playing, the player collects gold, items, outfits, and other accessories which they can use in-game. [20] [21]
Security
Prodigy has a history of security issues that they have failed to patch regarding obtaining in-game items, in-game rewards, etc, but not largely around user data.[22] [23] The first Prodigy Math Game exploits were developed in early 2019 by ProdigyMathGameHacking, a GitHub repository dedicated to introducing the security problems that Prodigy has into the public.[24] The exploits did not become well known until early 2020, and the first unsuccessful patch was made in May of 2020 [25] and was unpatched by ProdigyMathGameHacking a few days later.[26][27] Many patches were made after this, but all were unpatched within a matter of days. [28] [29]
Educational Goals
Prodigy Math Game is designed to make learning more enjoyable for young children of grades 1-8.[30] [31] It features benefits for teachers and parents, such as accounts that parents can use to manage their children's in-game account, and accounts for teachers to manage their classroom. [32]
