The Royal Mathemagicians’ experiment backfired and they’ve both turned into frogs!
Now they must head for the castle to get the magic antidote. Unfortunately, there’s enough magic potion only for one frog! Players move their frogs by combining numbers into mathematical equations.
The value of an equation determines how far a frog moves. There’s even a built-in "coach" to help players improve game strategy!

This game was programmed by Paul Crowley at On-Time Software. This company made several games for the ColecoVision: Gyruss and James Bond 007 published by Parker Brothers and Up 'n Down published by Sega.
According to Paul Crowley, he started working on coding Mathemagician's Quest (development title of this game) after he finished Up 'n Down in September 1984.
Video game development had slowed to a crawl so he had already gotten another job and only worked on this in his free time.
Coleco pulled the plug before the end of the year, so the game may not have gotten past this point.
