The GrumblyDaddy app aims to make arithmetic humorous and engaging. Players identify with the cubs in the app. The cubs love being watched over by their daddy bear, and being able to calm him down by tickling him on the nose when he gets angry. Also, when one of the cubs makes a mistake, the others like to make fun of him.
