The brain games on this website have been specially designed to maximize the training benefit. Each game targets specific mental faculties in simple and straight-forward ways. Most importantly, the games automatically become harder as you make progress, ensuring that they always provide an appropriate degree of challenge.
This easy mental exercise targets your reaction speed, or how quickly you can interpret and react to sensory information. You will be presented with one of two different stimuli (a beep or a visual flash) and you need to then press the space bar as quickly as you can.
This brain game will exercise you ability to remember and identify patterns. In this instance, you will be working with patterns of colors, which you will need to seek out within a large matrix of colored pieces. The more effectively you can remember the pattern and the more quickly you can isolate it from the larger group, the further you will advance in this game.
This game targets your brain’s ability to sense the passage of time. The object of the game is to track a series of hidden countdowns and try to expose them before they expire (yet as close to the end of the countdown as possible). To be successful at this game, you will need to effectively track the passage of time, and also use your memory to keep track of where you have placed each countdown.
This word game will exercise your English language skills, helping you develop a stronger vocabulary and faster word recall abilities. The object of this brain game is to complete the words by filling in the missing letters. Strategically rearrange the available letters until you have filled in all the holes and created valid words.
In this brain-training game, you need to compare two groups of elements and quickly figure out which of the elements are not in both groups. You will be working with numbers, letters, shapes and colors as you exercise your ability to process visual information and quickly act on it.

Welcome to http://brain-training-games.net. As you might guess by the name, this website is dedicated to providing you with games and exercises to train your brain and improve your brain fitness. While this site is a new player on the brain-training scene, the material on this site has been years in the making, and we are ready to make a splash! By the time of our grand opening, we will offer at least 20 different games in 10 different categories, making us one of the more extensive brain fitness sites around. But we won’t stop there; building from our library of 100+ original brain games and exercises over at http://playwithyourmind.com, we will be adding new game to this site on a weekly basis and before long will offer the largest collection of brain training games on the internet.
While our main focus will be on developing our own brain games, we also hope to be a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn more about brain fitness, brain training, and the numerous options we now have for strengthening and sharpening our minds. As time passes, we will be adding a number of links to other similar sites as well as offering product reviews for the other brain fitness programs available on the internet.
Right now, we are just a few weeks old and still under construction. If things go according to plan, we hope to officially open for business within the first week of November. Until then, feel free to explore the site and play the currently available games (so far there are 8 completed and available online) but remember that not everything may be working properly quite yet.
