Complete short tasks and train your brain!
Big Brain Academy for the Nintendo DSi is an educational game focused on measuring and improving various cognitive skills. Unlike other "Brain Training" titles, Big Brain Academy places less emphasis on daily tasks and more on measuring the overall "size" of your brain based on performance.

The game offers a variety of puzzles and tasks designed to test different aspects of intelligence and thinking ability. These include arithmetic problems, pattern recognition, and memory exercises. The challenges are presented in the form of short and enjoyable mini-games.

A strong point of Big Brain Academy is its accessibility. The tasks are easy to understand, making the game suitable for players of all ages. Furthermore, the competitive element, where you are evaluated on speed and accuracy, encourages replaying to improve personal records.

The game's presentation is simple yet effective, with clear graphics and a user-friendly interface. The music is cheerful and motivating, contributing to the positive atmosphere of the game.

The repetitive nature of the puzzles can become monotonous over time.

Overall, Big Brain Academy offers a fun and approachable way to train your brain. It is an ideal choice for players seeking quick, educational challenges and a way to measure their cognitive performance. Although I feel that older players might benefit the most from this game.

Target audience is 50+
The idea of Dr. Kawashima is to train your brain with simple tasks. The main goal is to become faster and thus make your brain age younger. Because the younger your brain, the better is the motto in Big Brain Academy!

I really feel like the target audience is 50+. Fun to do twice for me! =)

Addictive game that keeps your brain sharp
Big Brain Academy is a game where you have to solve various puzzles in 60 seconds. You will be trained in 5 categories, each with 3 types of puzzles in 3 different difficulty levels. In the memory category, for example, you have to remember numbers, place music fragments in the correct order, or play a kind of memory game. Depending on your score, you will receive a bronze, silver, gold, or maybe even a platinum medal. After practicing, you can take an exam where you will be given 5 random tasks. Your brain weight will then be calculated.

I find it a very enjoyable game that appeals to both young and old. You really want to improve your score to eventually get the platinum medal. After a while, it does feel like being fast is more important than being accurate. This is a bit of a shame, but overall, it's a fantastic game that I can definitely recommend!

Fun and Challenging
Big Brain Academy is truly a challenging game. You complete simple tasks to become faster each time. I have played this game many times and it remains difficult even with frequent play. The game is rated between 13/80 because it can be hard for young children to understand.

You can earn 4 types of medals: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. You receive bronze if you have a score of 50 grams, silver at 150 grams, and gold at 250 grams. Platinum is harder to achieve, and the score you need varies from puzzle to puzzle, but it ranges between 348 and 500 grams. For platinum, you not only need to solve the puzzles flawlessly but also very quickly. In the video, you can see how to earn a platinum badge for all 45 minigames.
