Peak - Brain Training
Better games for smarter minds
Not all good-for-you routines need to feel like chores. Peak offers you a fun, daily brain-training break – to see how your memory, focus and coordination measure up against fellow users.
What we love: Workouts take the form of quick but challenging games. Sort images at lightning speed (Must Sort), retrace a path on a grid without hitting a bomb (Perilous Path), or see how many words you can make out of random letters (Word Fresh). Each game takes only a minute to complete – and the more you train, the better you get.
Quick tip: Check out your Peak Brain Score, calculated by analysing seven core categories: problem-solving, memory, focus, mental agility, language, emotion and coordination. Peak’s helpful stats and charts show your improvement over time.
Meet the creator: London-based entrepreneurs Gerald Goldstein, Itamar Lesuisse, Xavier Louis and Sagi Shorrer co-founded Peak in 2013. “A lot of the games we build are based on scientific research,” says Louis. “We’ve got in-house scientists who help design the games and work with scientific academies.”
