Big Brain Academy is awesomely fun and addictive. The game consists of 5 different categories. Within each category are 3 different activities to choose from. Each activity then has three levels of difficulty to master. To top it all off, there are 3 different areas that you can play in...practice, test, and versus.
The games only take a few minutes to play each. This is good for people that lack the time to play more time consuming games. Therefore, it makes a great way to learn and have fun during even the smallest amount of spare time that you may have.
The games themselves are oodles of fun. The graphics are colorful. The games are challenging but not too hard. (Personally, I struggled with Pathfinder. This is only because I lack any sense of direction not because of the game. However, I am happy to report that I have finally developed some sense of direction from it!) The games help you develop logic skills at a comfortable pace.
Many virtual rewards can be earned throughout the game. Dr. Lobe provides medals based upon the score that you receive for the activity. Medals consist of bronze, silver, and gold. The game also congratulates you for setting new records.
One of the best parts are the grades you are given and your brain type. Grades are given between A's and F's. It is just like school! Based on the results per category, you are told what type of brain you have. For example, you may have the brain of a doctor or Leonardo Di Vinci.
