Game Description

Nintendo's not just for exercising your thumbs anymore - Brain Age will get your noggin joggin'! Flex your mental muscles with this game inspired by the work of Japanese neuroscientist Ryuta Kawashima. In your first training session, Brain Age will give you a series of tests to determine your brain's age. From there, the workouts begin! You'll perform simple math problems, complete logic exercises, read aloud from classic books, draw, and more. You can even play sudoku! The better you do at your exercises, the more of them you'll unlock. Brain Age is for everyone from students to baby boomers - anyone who wants to improve the fit of their thinking cap!
