GAME INSTRUCTIONS
What is the objective of the game?
Brain Academy is an online brain-training game where players test and improve their cognitive abilities through 8 beat-the-clock minigames. The game features two main modes: practice mode for targeted skill training and exam mode with randomized tests to evaluate overall performance. Activities include visual memory challenges, mental math, spatial orientation, logical reasoning, and sustained attention.Recommended age and educational level
Recommended for ages 8 to 9 and up (Elementary School to Adults). Younger players need basic counting and math skills to engage effectively with the numerical challenges. It serves as a versatile tool for students aiming to sharpen their minds, teachers or therapists working with kids who need focus support, and adults or seniors maintaining cognitive fitness.How to play: single-player or multiplayer
The game is designed for single-player mode, allowing users to train independently at their own pace. However, it can be adapted into a collaborative group activity by having players take turns in exam mode to compare high scores or solve the visually intense minigames as a team.What do you learn with this game? Learning outcomes and skills
Across its 8 minigames, this cognitive test develops key executive functions and academic skills:- Working Memory and Visual Recall: Memorizing color patterns (Simon Says style), matching cards, and remembering short-term visual details.
- Attention and Processing Speed: Tracking fast-moving items on conveyor belts, selecting moving numbers in ascending order, and analyzing bouncing height in real time.
- Logical and Mathematical Reasoning: Summing 3D cube stacks, counting money sets, and calculating relative weights using balance scales.
- Spatial Awareness: Matching rotating 3D objects with their accurate flat silhouettes.
Tips to get the most out of this game
To extend the experience into an unplugged activity, players can maintain a printed score-tracker log. Students can record their total completion times and correct answers in exam mode, then calculate their percentage of accuracy, plot weekly progress charts, or recreate physical memory sequences using paper cards.Video
