The App for the Board Game "Quick Brainz – Think like a pro!" How to Play: You must collect 12 coins to win Quick Brainz. A total of 4 challenges and countless mini-games await you! Quick Brainz tests your dexterity, speed, and thinking skills under time pressure! First, the app randomly selects which player rolls the dice first. Then, players take turns rolling the dice in a clockwise direction. The goal is to reach 12 points as quickly as possible. But be careful—you can also lose points! Each player competes individually, and there can only be one winner. If two players reach 12 coins at the same time, the game continues until there is a single winner. Each space on the board hides either a challenge or an interactive mini-game. After rolling the dice, switch to the smartphone app and tap the corresponding space. The tasks are explained in the app before each game. For the games "Charades" and "Drawing," you select a partner who must guess the given terms. In these cases, two players can earn a coin—teamwork is key! Important: Always follow the rolling order. If the order changes, please update the next player in the main menu under the settings icon.
