Play M*a*t*h*s Circus Online

M*A*T*H*S Circus is an educational puzzle-solving game released in 1992 for the MS-DOS platform. It was developed and published by Greygum Software. The game uses a circus theme as a framework for presenting a variety of logic and mathematics-based challenges.

The player engages with a series of twelve distinct activities, each designed as a standalone puzzle. These activities cover concepts beyond basic arithmetic, including spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and the manipulation of variables. For instance, one puzzle involves understanding pendulum motion to operate a trapeze, while another focuses on angles and propulsion to fire a cannon. Each activity features five levels of difficulty, with the simplest aimed at very young children and the most complex providing a challenge for adults. Progression is structured around completing these individual puzzles, with the core gameplay revolving around solving the presented problems to assist the circus performers.

The game was revised in early 1997 for Windows 3.1 and 95, receiving updates to its graphics and audio. This version also added support for players with disabilities. M*A*T*H*S Circus became the first title in a long-running series, with numerous sequels, referred to as "Acts," released regularly in subsequent years.
