Testimonials

what people think

“I was very impressed with the Ultra Rapid concept and – with backing from the University of Reading’s Institute of Education research experts – I envisage significant educational and commercial impact. Schools within The Circle Trust are delighted to be involved

Ginny Rhodes – Trust ceo

"We can use Ultra Rapid to bring our absent children into school. The first 30 minutes or so of the day, they could play and then it would be easier to get them into their classes afterwards"

1 - Rhythm Game Beat-matching drives learning

Ultra Rapid converts the curriculum into a format which allows for very high levels of repetitions without causing engagement fatigue. Our method is beat-matching. As music plays, components of diagrams and formulae come down highways, and arrive at hit-zones as you hear the beat. This allows for 100s-1000s of interactions with a single visual from an academic textbook.

2 - gritty anime connects the real-world

At the heart of the experience is a dynamic storytelling arc: a group of young superhero innovators are hand-picked by two world-class, military-trained computer hackers to help save a dying city, Syntheia. Their mission? To rebuild and transform it into a self-sustaining, thriving solarpunk city — using their wits, creativity, and problem-solving skills to restore water, power, and safety block by block.

3 - all guided by teacher & parent dashboards

Ultra Rapid is designed to be a new form of free-play, like any commercial-grade rhythm game. Although children have high levels of autonomy, we also want to ensure they are focussing on what they need to know now. Teachers and parents can use their dashboards to put key curriculum

FOR
STUDENTS

Ultra Rapid is the first tool that transforms any song into a dynamic learning experience. Just pick a track, pick a subject, and start.

Grounded in decades of research on music, visuals, and multi-modal learning, especially for children with SEN, Ultra Rapid blends rhythm gameplay, factor trees, and educational storytelling into one energetic flow.

Kids build lessons as they play, making choices, syncing to the beat, and learning through action. Teachers can guide, but learners lead.

It’s not just a game or a lesson; it’s rhythm-powered education, made playable.

teachers & Parents

Ultra Rapid helps students connect with your curriculum in a way that sticks.

With the Teacher Interface, simply pick a subject, select key visuals (like diagrams or charts), and assign them to your class or individual students. These materials instantly become interactive rhythm games that reinforce learning through play.

Each mini-game includes explainers to boost understanding, animations synced to music to clarify abstract ideas, and a quiz that unlocks creative editing tools, giving students agency and giving you insight.

Ultra Rapid activates visual, auditory, and motor pathways to deepen focus, speed up recall, and keep learners engaged.

Frequently asked questions

QUESTIONS?

What is Ultra Rapid and how does it work?

Ultra Rapid is a music-assisted learning platform, designed to increase engagement and attainment in children who struggle with traditional learning methods. We do this by engaging melodic and visual-spatial learning, via animation of visual materials, timed to music. These materials become interactive during the rhythm game mode of Ultra Rapid, where students can input answers to problems in time to the sounds in their favourite music.
