making the curriculum stick
At Thiiia, we believe EdTech should sound like Spotify, look like Twitch, and feel like Nintendo. Why? Because that’s how you make learning stick. Ultra Rapid is built for learners who tune out traditional methods. Just choose a song, pick a subject, and instantly turn it into a rhythm game; mapped to your national curriculum and designed for deep, repeatable learning.

ULTRA RAPID
Ultra Rapid transforms core subjects into rhythm games using music, visuals, and interactivity — backed by years of research in multi-modal learning and cognition. From beat-matching in maths to animating abstract ideas, it boosts recall, sharpens focus, and makes learning feel like play. It’s not just a tool — it’s a new learning format.

Story-Driven Learning
Story-Driven Learning
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.

“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"

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.
Which subjects and age groups is Ultra Rapid designed for?
How is the academic syllabus integrated into the game?
