Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about BrainGames and brain training.
What is BrainGames?
BrainGames is a free online platform offering brain training games and cognitive tests. Our games help you measure and improve cognitive skills like reaction time, memory, and pattern recognition.
Do I need to create an account?
No, you can play all games for free without creating an account. However, creating a free account allows you to track your progress over time and compare your scores with other players.
Are the games really free?
Yes! All core games are completely free to play. BrainGames Pro offers additional features like unlimited plays, advanced analytics, and percentile rankings for $4.99/month, but the basic games remain free.
How do brain training games work?
Brain training games are designed to exercise specific cognitive functions. By regularly practicing these games, you can improve skills like working memory, processing speed, and reaction time through neuroplasticity - your brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections.
How often should I play brain training games?
For best results, we recommend playing brain training games 3-5 times per week for 10-15 minutes per session. Consistency is more important than duration - regular practice yields better results than occasional long sessions.
What is a good reaction time?
The average human reaction time is around 200-250 milliseconds. Reaction times under 200ms are considered excellent, while times over 300ms may indicate room for improvement. Regular practice can help improve your reaction time.
Can brain training games improve my memory?
Yes, research shows that regular brain training can improve working memory and other cognitive functions. Our memory games specifically target your ability to remember and recall information, which can translate to better memory in daily life.
How accurate are the cognitive tests?
Our games are designed based on established cognitive testing methodologies. While they provide valuable insights into your cognitive performance, they are not medical or clinical assessments. For professional cognitive evaluation, please consult a healthcare provider.
Can I play on mobile devices?
Yes! BrainGames is fully responsive and works on all devices including smartphones and tablets. Some games may be easier to play on larger screens, but all games are mobile-friendly.
