Create your profile, select a coach — Dr. Hurley or Professor Stevens — and launch your first Daily Brain Test. Five mini-games cover
Brain Challenge’s main problem-solving areas — Logic, Math, Memory, Visual, and
Focus — and evaluate your initial level of brain usage as a way to measure future growth. Your coach then lets you know which games you’ve unlocked, tells you the first rank you’ve achieved, and gives you encouragement for next time.
A Gym For Your Brain
Each time you launch
Brain Challenge, you can take another Daily Brain Test or head into the Training Room and work on a specific area. Before each daily exam, your coach introduces a question, typically one involving a science subject, and gives you the answer at the end of the session. When your workout ends, your coach lets you know what percentage of your brain is in use now and details your total scores in all areas of the game.
Brain-Stimulating Games
Logic: This area challenges you to
Figure out patterns. For example, in the
Balance activity, you’re presented with a series of scales containing different objects and you must deduce which one is the heaviest.
Math: In addition to arithmetic problems, activities in this area also include such games as Trout Route, which presents you with a
Grid full of numbers. From the starting position, you must take the calculation presented and figure out the correct route. For example, if your starting position is 20 and the calculation is -4, you should next move to the box that says 16.
Memory: How well do you retain short-term information? Games in this area include Traveling, which shows you a route and asks you to recreate it.
