Brain Games is a mental workout for the whole family, ages 6 to 80+: 75 games that adapt to your age and level. Five minutes a day is all it takes. • ADAPTS TO YOUR AGE: when you start, you pick your age, and the games you see, the words, the time for each challenge and the starting level all change to match. Little ones can play without needing to read. • 75 GAMES IN 8 AREAS: memory, attention, speed, flexibility, logic, math, language and spatial reasoning. • BACKED BY SCIENCE: every game is based on a real psychology test (Corsi, n-back, Stroop, Wisconsin, Raven, Tower of Hanoi…) and explains why it works, plus a tip for using it in everyday life. • ALWAYS AT YOUR LEVEL: every game has 50 levels and gets harder or easier on its own, based on how you play. • TODAY'S WORKOUT: a few minutes with one game from each of the areas you've practiced least. • LEARN AND REMEMBER: spaced repetition so you don't forget what you learn (flags, capitals, times tables, history, science), plus short lessons on memory techniques. • FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: a profile for each person, with their own age and progress. • WATCH YOUR PROGRESS BLOOM: your brain flower, levels for each area, 24 medals and your daily streak. • PRIVATE: no account, no ads and no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone. LET'S BE HONEST No game makes you “smarter” across the board.
