Math Pop Fiesta: Build Equations Along a Path
Math Pop Fiesta turns a board of symbols into an arithmetic path puzzle. You decide which neighboring tiles form a valid calculation, while the level asks you to reach a score or clear particular targets within its budget.

Build a true equation
In Equations mode, the path must include exactly one equals sign and both sides must evaluate equally. Use touching tiles, including diagonals, without jumping or reusing a tile. Adjacent digits form multi-digit numbers.
Calculate before you submit
Multiplication and division happen before addition and subtraction, with left-to-right evaluation within those groups. There are no parentheses tiles. Negative results and equal fractions are accepted; division by zero is not.
Switch your goal in Expressions mode
Expressions asks for an expression of at least three tiles that reaches one of the displayed target numbers. It must not contain an equals sign. A full true equation is therefore invalid in this mode.
Before selecting a path, check the active mode and the targets. For a displayed target of 7, a touching 3 + 4 path is a possible answer in Expressions; in Equations, it would need an equals sign and a matching right-hand side.
Choose a path that helps the level
A valid path scores (length − 1) × (length − 2) × 10: five tiles earn 120 points. Levels can also ask for symbol collection, blocks, cages, ingredients or bombs. Non-score objectives need at least one star as well.
Each accepted equation spends one move on move levels; timed levels use seconds. Watch countdown bombs and clear below ingredients. Normal Hint finds a path without entering it. There is no Undo. Relaxed provides the largest budget, while Challenge disables normal Hint and manual Shuffle.
