My Lumosity performance index has gone up from 610 when I began playing in April to 1,366 now, which apparently puts me in the 80 percentile for my age group (yes, I feel smug).īut does brain training actually work? Experts are divided although it is generally agreed that playing a brain game will make you better at that game, it won't necessarily help you remember someone's name or where you left your phone. While I score highly on attention and problem-solving, my memory is down in the 33rd percentile – no surprise, as I have to write reminders for absolutely everything. The games measure speed, memory, attention, flexibility and problem-solving. Somehow I’ve managed to manipulate my game preferences so I just don’t see this game anymore. As one other reviewer put it, Penguin Pursuit (a turning maze for spatial orientation) is my own “seventh circle of hell”. Not all games are fun: in fact, some stress me out so much, I wonder why I bother with it. Train of Thought is probably the game that Lumosity is best known for – getting dozens of different coloured trains to their matching stations by flipping switches to keep changing train tracks. Answer (1 of 9): You can always try Idol Brain.

I can play on desktop, tablet or mobile (Android or iPhone), although not all 57 games are available beyond the desktop. For reference: I also used to really like Cake Mania and Hot Dog Bush when I was a kid (any good links to those with full gameplay would absolutely change my life, I would be forever grateful) so something very like train of thought would be perfect but I’d also love recs for any decent planning + divided attention games, thanks 1. In eight years it has picked up 70 million users in 180 countries it is thought the industry will be worth US$6 billion by 2020.
This is Lumosity, my brain-training app – what founder Kunal Sarkar calls a “gym for the brain”. But for 15 minutes, I consider this as important as any work I could be doing. I don’t rush off to a meeting or make a call.
