Finally, a way to prove who’s the smartest in your family!
Big Brain Academy - Brain vs Brain is one seriously fun brain-stretching game where you challenge your mind to do things that really make it think!
The name of the game is to get your “Big Brain Brawn” up by solving puzzles, taking tests and challenging other players.
The more points you get from each challenge, the better your score/rank gets - earning you stars, medals and special customisations for your in-game character.
There are five different mind-bending activity categories: Identify, Memorise, Analyse, Compute, and Visualise. In each different category, you’ll find your brain being asked to do things like memorising a picture pattern … and, then do it backwards! OR guess what animal is pictured with only a little bit of the picture visible.
“Ghost Clash” lets you test your brain brawn against your friends or random people from around the world. To show how good you are, the game shows how old the person is that you’re competing against. It’s really satisfying when you beat someone who is much older than you!
I liked that if you win a “Ghost Clash” round you then get to pick a phrase that your character will say to the person at the start of the next round, like: “this won't take long” or “nice to meet you”.
There is also a multiplayer mode that allows 2 to 4 people to play to see who has the biggest brain. This is great for challenging your whanau! To decide what category and what activity you will compete with, you spin a wheel. Whoever gets the most points at the end wins.
The best thing about multiplayer mode is the ability to choose your difficulty level. This means that no matter how young or old your family members are everyone gets a fair chance to win.
This game gets a solid five out of five stars from me - there is nothing I don't like! – Joshua, 12
