What's New in BrainTokens
1.1
October 12, 2026
New in 1.1 • Bubble Pop: a new Brain Break. Pop only the bubbles carrying the target shape. Toddler Mode gets its own slower Bubbles activity. • Reward Shop: set real-world rewards, like a trip to the park or movie night, that your child buys with tokens. You hand them over or refund them from the Parent area. • Fix-It round: missed math and spelling questions come back as a quick multiple-choice replay. • Weekly Report: a shareable summary of your child's week in the Parent area, with an optional Sunday evening notification. • Level progress: see how close your child is to the next level, and get a notification when they level up. • Practice and streak reminders are now written for the parent, never the child. • Settings now links to the Parent Guide. • Maze Run fix: the brain only moves when you drag it.
