Brain Training was one of the great successes of the Nintendo DS, one of the great portable consoles of the first decade of the 21st century. Such was its success that, in 2008, it broke the record as the best-selling game in the Top 10 in the United Kingdom for the greatest number of weeks: 80.
The title starring Ryuta Kawashima mixed fun with curious mini-games to exercise memory and mind. The brain, like any other muscle, needs to do some “sport” from time to time so as not to lose faculties.
And there are many people who, in their spare time, may be interested in exercising their minds. Especially if it is through more enjoyable activities than pure and simple study, such as video games.
For this reason, we are going to review some of the best mobile games to exercise memory and logic .
ZHED
Ad-free and made for short sessions, ZHED is a perfect puzzle game for those who like a challenge. The title proposes 100 levels in which you will have to find the right path by studying the interaction between the different drawers that make up each screen.
It is not a particularly difficult game, but it rewards agility. The first levels help to understand how the game works, while the last ones require a little more logic. Once all of them are finished, you can repeat them to see how much you remember of them.
The Bart Bante Games
Yellow , Red , Blue and Black are four games that are based on the same mechanic: making the entire screen look the same color. The mechanics, although simple, are very addictive, as they rely purely on logic to fit the pieces together.
To know which color is the main one, you just have to look at the name of the game. It is a perfect saga for downtime and to enjoy a good challenge while we exercise our minds.
Monument Valley
The only paid game on this list. Monument Valley is one of the best known mobile games, and not just for a reason. The first thing that stands out is its aesthetic: minimalist and with pastel colors that envelop a little princess.
Monument Valley exercises the mind, and more specifically spatial vision and logic , through convoluted visual puzzles. The objective of the game is to guide the princess through architecturally impossible buildings.
Skillz
Skillz is one of the most complete games, in the sense of this top. It has dozens of mini-games with different challenges that include memory exercises, reflexes, sight precision, etc.
Regarding the result, Skillz scores from 1 to 5 the performance during the minigame. In addition, he has a multiplayer mode to be able to train with another person and, thus, see who gets the best score.
2048
What if what we like is mathematics and improving our time when calculating? 2048 is a game where speed is rewarded and, above all, precision when adding.
The title is based on the classic puzzle created by Gabriele Cirulli in which the objective is to add 2048 by adding the different squares of a mosaic. But it’s not that simple: for two drawers to add to each other, they must be of the same value. An addictive, fun game that serves as a very good exercise.
