About BFMG

We are academics at the University of Coventry, and enthusiastic about mathematical games!

These are widespread in other countries, with tens of thousands of participants every year.

The first edition of the British Final took place at the University of Essex, in 2022, and the second edition at the University of Coventry, in 2023. Last year, for the first time British participants qualified for the International Final!

Our long term goal is to broaden interest for the games in the UK across schools, universities, and the general public. In general, no specialist knowledge is required to solve, but a lot of creativity will certainly help!
