  1. Install ZetaLog

    In the Chrome Web Store, select Add to Chrome then Add extension.

    Keep the popup easy to find

    Select Chrome's puzzle-piece icon, find ZetaLog then select its pin. Pinning is optional and does not affect recording.

  2. Complete a Zetamac game

    Open Zetamac. Refresh once if it was already open when you installed ZetaLog. Keep the default 120-second game and select Start.

    Type each answer. A correct answer advances automatically. Your score is the number of correct answers before time runs out.

What counts for rankings

Ranked games use all four operations and the default number ranges, with a 30, 60 or 120-second timer. Uploaded records are validated before they rank. Other completed games remain useful local practice.

Your chosen name and best scores appear on public boards by default. You can make your account private in Account and keep using online progress.

Optional

Add a university badge

Verify a supported UK or US university email to add its mark beside your name and join its leaderboard. Your verified email also works for sign-in and is never shown publicly.

Verify university email

Not at university or prefer not to say? Choose that option in Account. You can use the global board without a badge and change this choice later.

A completed game is missing

Refresh Zetamac once, complete a full game then open the popup after the timer reaches zero. If the game is local but missing online, check that the extension is connected and whether uploads are waiting or under review.

The extension will not connect

Use desktop Chrome with ZetaLog installed and enabled. Open Link extension and check again. Complete sign-in in the Chrome window. Connecting an account does not by itself confirm that a game has synced, so check My progress after playing.
