Mind Games is a great collection of games based in part on principles derived from cognitive tasks to help you practice different mental skills. This app includes nearly 3 dozen of Mindware’s brain training games (some of which allow you to play 3 times and require upgrading to play more). All games include your score history and graph of your progress. The games list shows a summary of your best games and today’s scores on all games. Using some principles from standardized testing, your scores are also converted to a comparison scale so that you can see where you need work and excel. You might also be able to notice the effects of various lifestyle factors on your performance through the score history.

Mind Games is also now available on iPhone/iPad and Windows.

Languages available: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian, Japanese.
