Advantages: Speeds up mental agility

Disadvantages: none

I got given this as a present so didn't have any preconceived ideas about it, so bored on an long train trip I decided to give it a go. I found it strangely addictive and found myself desperately trying to beat myself. The game has a collection of simple maths problem which are timed, word puzzles and logic/spacial problems. As you complete them you get access to more, all these tasks act as practice for brain age check test where the goal is 20.

The game is challenging and intriging, I have played it nearly everyday since that train trip. It makes you do mental arithmetic and problem solve which is something I haven't done since I was in school, the of which has been that my brain can process mental maths issues much faster which has impressed my clients and my boss. It has also got me checking my change again, which is good because it is suprisingly how often you get the wrong change.

I heartedly recommend this game to anyone who commutes and has time on their hands.

Summary: Unexpected delight
