Most brain trainers are a solo grind. Brainix is the one you can actually play with other people - in the same room, everyone on their own device. 20 fast mini-games train five cognitive skills: memory, mental math, focus and visual search, logical reasoning, and spatial visualization. Every game adapts in real time to how you actually play, so you are always working right at the edge of your ability. MEASURE YOUR BRAIN POWER Take the Brain Test - one game from each of the five categories, scored into a single Brain Power number plus a strengths pentagon showing exactly where you are sharp and where you are not. Earn a title across 11 tiers, Beginner to Grandmaster. Retake it and watch the number move. SAME-ROOM MULTIPLAYER, UP TO 8 PLAYERS This is what makes Brainix different from every other brain trainer. Everyone plays on their own phone or tablet over your local network - no internet needed, no matchmaking queues, no waiting. Pick a tournament length, spin the wheel or choose your strongest game, and settle it with live leaderboards between rounds. iPhone, iPad and Android all play together. Not in the same room? Host an online room and share a 4-character code. THREE GAMES A DAY Daily Practice is a short structured session that rotates across all five categories, so your brain never settles into a groove.
