One of the best and lightest brain training game ever for iOS You are using 10% of your brain ability. Let’s play Brain Flash Games and activate your mind power with our 6 stunning mini games: ◆ R-P-S (Rock-paper-scissors) Rock beats Scissors, Paper beats Rocks, Scissors beat Paper. The classic mind game comes back with a new rule: you have to WIN when you see the GREEN but you have to LOSE when you see the RED. ◆ PAIR That would be great if you find someone like you. In this speed game, you have to tap 2 CARDS with the SAME character or shape as fast as possible. Don’t think it’s easy, your brain will work 200%. ◆ TRUE COLOR When you see a red CIRCLE, it’s easily to say its COLOR. But if we trick you with a yellow LABEL on the circle, the game will become chaos. You will be confused and wonder why it’s so hard to tap a red circle with label “red”. ◆ ALL OR NOTHING If you see an orange rocket, just tap an orange rocket. Is it a simple game, right? Oh wait, but if you don’t see any orange rocket, you have to tap a blue UFO, which have both different color and shape. OMG, this game is now so crazy! ◆ ONE DIRECTION If you see a shoal of blue fish move to the left, swipe left. If you see a shoal of red fish move up, just swipe down. It’s maybe the easiest game of 6. ◆ THINK DIFFERENT This game is inspired by Apple and Steve Jobs. Just tap the unique fish or jellyfish which has different color and skin pattern to get score. We have taught you all the rules. Are you ready to boost your brain and beats yourself and hackers around the world?

What have people said about interactive stories from Red Chain Games? “Each detailed scene is formed from modelling clay giving it a lovely solid and real feel that is quite different from the familiar computer-generated or created scenes of other eBook-style apps. For adults of a certain age, it will evoke memories of classic television stories. For children, unused to such a style, it will form a fresh and interesting reading experience.” www.educationalappstore.com “…not only engaging and educational, but it has the wholesome air of Nick Park animation too.” www.droidgamers.com “…like a boutique kids’ show on the BBC.” www.gamezebo.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Brain Flash at 3.5 against Read & Play's 2.0. Brain Flash also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). Read & Play's advantage is update cadence (every 11 months vs every 25 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 57%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Read & Play sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Brain Flash asks for nothing beyond the download.
Brain Flash holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Flash has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Brain Flash's written reviews are positive against 67% of Read & Play's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brain Flash ships an update every 25 months, Read & Play every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
