THE GUIDE · FOUR PANELS
The view
You steer a car down a straight road lined with gates. Each gate carries an operation — multiply, divide, add, subtract — and driving through one applies it to your running total. Choose well and you arrive with a large number and a large payout; choose badly and you arrive with almost nothing.
The money goes into a garage. Better cars, faster cars, cars you can sell for an immediate return or keep because you want the collection. It is an arithmetic game wearing a racing game's clothes, and it is honest about that from the first gate.
The keys
Swipe or drag left and right to change lanes. On a computer, A and D or the left and right arrows do the same thing.

Early notes
- ·A multiply gate taken early beats a bigger add gate taken late. The run compounds.
- ·Divide gates are sometimes the only opening. Take the smallest divisor on offer rather than braking.
- ·Decide before a run whether you are selling cars or collecting them; the two spend the same money differently.
- ·Commit to a lane late. The gates are readable in time, and an early change is the one you regret.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, on Poki.
Is it a racing game?
It looks like one. In practice it is a lane runner about numbers.
Does it work on a phone?
Poki lists computer, phone and tablet; swiping is the native control.
THE HONEST HALF
Who it's good company for
People who enjoy a quick mental calculation under mild pressure, and anyone who likes an upgrade screen.
Two things to weigh
- ·It is the newest game in this collection, published in July 2026, so it has had less time to grow than the rest.
- ·The pull is arithmetic, not driving. If you want corners and steering, this is not that.
