Do you remember when you were small, your grandmother or grandfather always were doing brain teasers: crosswords, quizzes, trivia, and sudoku? All these educational games for adults and almost all of us thought it was boring and they were only doing it because there is nothing else to do. That is not the case. They were doing brain training. Our brain is like our body is needed to be trained and looked after. You won’t have the same ease of remembering something in your 70s, unfortunately. To keep your brain sharp, you need to practice, and the best practice is when you don’t get bored. You are playing a game, and the brain thinks that you are relaxing, but you are actually training. Check your general knowledge while playing our game. We have questions on every topic: history, science, even vexillology. So how does our game work? As you expected from a logic puzzle game. You have questions, and you need to answer them. We designed a new style for quizzes. The main question is located right in the center, and there are two circles. One is for hint questions and another for answers. All you need to do is to match them. So it is a quiz game for adults with a puzzle element that looks like trivia. For each correct answer, you will get points. Ingeniously, isn’t it? Each card with a question gives you three tries. After that, you will lose all bonuses you’ve got while doing this card. Our game’s puzzles consist of interesting facts, some of them you know, some of them you will need to recollect. Don't worry we'll test your knowledge with a few mind games here and there. We have loads and loads of puzzles and questions History will help you not to make the same mistakes twice • Math to count faster • Geography, you will become a walking globe • Some science to keep you up-to-date • Linguistic to enrich your active vocabulary • Musical: sometimes you just need to have fun! Do you want to improve your memory without studying hard like you have an exam tomorrow? Our offline trivia game for adults will help you with that! Different topics, tricky questions, interesting facts you didn’t know. Outsmart your brain! It is just a game and another way to relax what your subconscious will think. No negative association, so it would be easier to enjoy your everyday brain training routine. Instead of getting grumpy and irritated, you will gain new knowledge!
