    Product Description
    Enrol at the Big Brain Academy for the ultimate mental exercise regime. Find out how fast you can think; test your ability for logical thought; and turn that dull daily train journey into an intellectual keep-fit session. With Big Brain Academy, you can have fun while giving your brain a rigorous workout, playing across a series of mini-games designed to stimulate your mind. You can practice the challenges, go straight for the test, or even take on your friends. Test yourself across five categories: Think, Memorise, Analyse, Compute and Identify. Each category offers three different types of game, adding up to 15 different kinds of brainteasers - and there are three different difficulty settings to push your cranial power. Whether you're calculating the number of cubes contained within a structure, identifying quick-fire images or solving simple yet fast-paced maths problems, Big Brain Academy really gets the old grey matter working! Answer questions as quickly as possible against a 60 second time limit, and discover just how your brain measures up, as the friendly Dr. Lobe gives you the results of your performance.

    4 out of 5 stars A really fun game!   July 31, 2008

    This game is suitable for all ages - and by that I do mean adults and children. We all play this game and compete head to head, which is really fun for everyone. There are lots of different mini games (15, I think!) which are split into 5 categories. In practice mode you can pick any game and you then get given a bronze, silver or gold signifying how well you have done. In test mode, you are given a random game from each category and then you are given a grade on how well you have done. Would definitely recommend this for unlimited fun!


    3 out of 5 stars Fun antill completed   July 23, 2008

    This game is a childrens version of Brain training, it is quite fun antill you complete all the challanges then it gets tedious and boring.when my daughter tried it she said it was too easy and very boring after about 2 plays on it and she is eleven years old. I think this game is suitable for seven year olds and younger, it is not a good buy and will probabky only be used twice by your child then thrown at the back of a cupboard and never used again. Think about that before you buy. I would highly recommend it to seven year olds and under but teens no way!


    4 out of 5 stars Train that brain!   July 10, 2008

    I liked this more than How Old is Your Brain? as there were more puzzles. It also has more scope because you can play each puzzle individually and try to get a gold medal. I felt it was more of a 'game' that How Old is Your Brain which is more a training tool. You can also focus on certain types of game like 'logic' to improve your scores in that area. I would say its fun as such (maths fun??) but its definatley worth a try with the craze of brain training that it taking over the world!.

    5 out of 5 stars Buy this game!   April 14, 2008

    I got this game for Christmas, and although lots of girls my age (9) are going to want just cute animal games, I loved this one! The instructions are clear, and Dr. Lobe, (the one that helps you through it) gives straight forward instructions for the games. After a few months of owning it, I started playing a bit of this before I went to school each day, and I think it is working! There are several games which are sorted into five catagories;compute, think, identify, analyze and memorize. You can practice first, then do a test. Overall, this game is great. It's fun and easy to use, and really does work. Definetly buy this game!
