8 dragon bosses. 7 magic gems. One legendary quest to master 3rd grade math. This is not a worksheet in disguise. This is a real game where the math is the sword.

Most "educational" games feel like medicine — a thin disguise for a worksheet. Kids know it. That's why they stop playing.
KalqueLord is different. The math isn't tacked on, it's built in. You can't defeat a dragon without mastering what it guards. When a 3rd grader collects the last gem and unlocks Totalus's crypt, they've just passed a comprehensive math assessment. They had no idea.
"The curriculum integrated into the main storyline ensures students have ample opportunities to reach mastery and gives teachers an abundance of data." — KalqueLord Design Document
Eight dragons. Eight territories. Seven gems. One final vault. Each dragon guards a math unit, you master the unit, you defeat the dragon, you claim the gem. Collect all seven and face Totalus.
Each dragon guards one math unit. Start with the level that matches your current skill. No two quests are exactly the same.
Answer math challenges to advance. Each correct answer is a move. Each mastered standard unlocks new abilities.
Each dragon boss requires demonstrated mastery of its full unit. Defeat it, collect the gem. Its territory becomes yours.
Collect all 7 gems. The vault opens. Face Totalus. Conquer it. The title flashes before you: YOU ARE... KalqueLord.
The KalqueLord game board — six dragon realms, one final quest.
Seven outer dragons guard the math units. Defeat all seven and their gems unlock the crypt of Totalus — the final boss, the comprehensive challenge that proves complete mastery of 3rd grade math.

Every quest begins with a choice. These are the planned pledge tiers for our Kickstarter launch. Early backers lock in the lowest prices before we go to retail.
"My students begged to play it again the next day. I've never had that happen with a math activity. Ever."
"The dragon-boss structure maps perfectly to the curriculum. It does the differentiation work for you — kids naturally find their level."
"My son has never voluntarily done math outside of school. He carried the game to the kitchen table at 7am on a Saturday."
"The gem collection mechanic makes the kids want to do every unit. I've never seen students choose the harder dragon on purpose before. Now they do."
KalqueLord didn't start with a business plan. It started with a question: what if the thing kids feared most in school became the thing they couldn't stop talking about?
Mark built the first version in 2017. He spent years refining the world, the dragons, and the mechanics with real students and teachers. Every element exists because it worked in an actual classroom.
Seven years in development. What you're backing isn't an idea. It's a game that already exists.
Get on the list now. Early backers get the best prices, first access, and the satisfaction of knowing they helped bring KalqueLord to classrooms everywhere.
