Pattern Quest
What comes next?
About Pattern Quest
Color, shape, size and number sequences that grow from AB patterns to arithmetic and geometric rules.
Ankhdase tracks 2 distinct skills in Pattern Quest, including Patterns & sequences and Skip counting. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
How to play
- Work out the rule the pattern follows, then pick what comes next.
- Patterns start with colors and pictures and grow into number sequences.
- Some rounds ask which item breaks the pattern instead.
Skills Pattern Quest practices
- Patterns & sequences
- Skip counting
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
Questions about Pattern Quest
- Is Pattern Quest free to play?
- Yes. Pattern Quest is free, runs in any modern browser, and needs no download or plugin. You can play straight away without an account; signing in is only needed if you want progress, streaks and badges saved.
- What age is Pattern Quest for?
- Pattern Quest suits ages 4–11 — roughly Pre-K to Grade 5. The difficulty adapts as you play, so it stays useful across that whole range rather than being pitched at one year group.
- What does Pattern Quest teach?
- It practices Patterns & sequences and Skip counting. Every question is tagged with the skill it exercises, so progress is tracked skill by skill rather than as one overall score.
- Does Pattern Quest work on a tablet or phone?
- Yes. Pattern Quest works with touch as well as a mouse, and every drag action has a tap-to-select alternative. Once the page has loaded once it also keeps working offline.
- Can teachers assign Pattern Quest?
- Yes. Teachers can create a class, add students in bulk without email addresses, and set Pattern Quest as an assignment with a goal — a score, a number of minutes, stars or a typing speed. Progress updates automatically as students play.
