The Brain Training phenomenon has swept the world and continues to keep players’ brains active today! Developed in collaboration with Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a Japanese Neuroscientist, Nintendo have created the ultimate brain exercise game, Brain Training. Using Dr. Kawashima’s books and theories as the basis, Brain Training is split into mini-games that put your brain’s abilities to the test.

While Brain Training is fun and addictive on its own, a little competition never hurt anyone, so now you have the opportunity to pit your brain’s abilities against the rest of South Africa with Brain Training in three separate challenges!

How do you win? That’s easy. Visit the “What’s Your Brain Age?” website to find out where to be and what time to be there (click ‘The Challenge’ at the bottom of the page), where you’ll be able to enter the challenge and submit your best score. If your score is good enough, it’ll be entered into the website’s Leaderboards for all to see, as well as putting you in line to win R2000 worth of Nintendo DS software!

Another challenge, if you’re up to the task, is to submit your own video relating to the Brain Age Challenge (maybe some ‘mental pushups’?) and uploading it to YouTube. Once uploaded, submit the URL, as well as your name and contact information, to upload@whatsyourbrainage.co.za. The funniest video, chosen by a judging panel, will win the video’s creator a Nintendo DS Lite! Go check out some of the already submitted videos to see your competition for this prize.

The last challenge is to compare your brain’s abilities to those of your colleagues in the Corporate Challenge! Are you smarter than your boss? Head over to the Brain Training website to find out!

Now go have fun training your brain, with Brain Training!
