A tenth game, and no more slogging through the easy levels. SORT PUZZLE — Tubes of jumbled animals: move them around until every tube holds just one kind. Only the top group moves, and only onto its own kind or into an empty tube, so the trick is thinking a few moves ahead. Each level gives you fewer spare moves and a shorter clock than the last, and you have three lives (two in Advanced Mode) to see how far you get. It's the first game here about planning — working out a sequence of moves before you make it. START AT YOUR RECORD — Once you've set a record, the start screen offers to begin right there instead of at level 1. Like a short run-up first? Set Warm-up Levels in Settings to start one, two or three levels below your record. Starting from level 1 is always one tap away. Works in every game with levels — everything except Schulte Table and Math Sprint. LONG GAMES COUNT — Quit after five minutes or more of play and the run is now saved like any other game — level, streak and history — instead of being thrown away. FIXED — The question mark on face-down cards in Card Matching no longer shows up backwards.

Two new games, and a much better fit on every screen. SHAPE ROTATION — A shape appears, and you pick the option that's the same one turned. The wrong answers are mirror images, which no amount of rotating will ever match, so there's no guessing your way through it. It's the first game here that trains mental rotation rather than memory or speed. PATTERN MATRIX — A three-by-three grid follows a hidden rule; work it out and tap the piece that belongs in the empty corner. Shape, count, color and fill all come into play. The clock is deliberately relaxed — this is the one you can slow down and think in. FITS YOUR SCREEN PROPERLY — Every game now scales to the space it's actually given, so boards and buttons are sized right on a big iPhone, on an iPad, and in a split-screen window, instead of being drawn for one phone and stretched. Grids keep their shape at every size, so your old high scores still compare. FULLY TRANSLATED — The stats and progress screens are now translated in all six languages along with the rest of the app. Same private on-device profiles, same daily streak. Two more ways to use them.

Brain Workout got a complete makeover. Every screen has been redrawn in a bold new sticker style — bright colors, chunky outlines, and a signature color for each of the seven games that follows you from the menu to the timer bar to your stats charts. The biggest change: twenty hand-drawn animal characters. Card Matching and Rule Switch used to use emoji; now Neko, Kitsune, Kuma and the rest are proper artwork, so they look the same on every device and finally have some personality. Mogura and Usagi were redrawn to match. Also new: A brand new app icon, with dark and tinted versions for your home screen Games start faster — one less tap between the menu and playing Card Matching gives you a slightly fairer look at the board before it flips Polish throughout: consistent score displays, game-over screens, and smoother animations everywhere Same seven games, same private on-device profiles. Just a lot more fun to open.

Played today? Your streak lights up. Haven't yet? It stays grey until you do. We've also added stats for your games, plus a handful of small improvements to make things feel smoother.

Two new games join the lineup. Rule Switch trains cognitive flexibility — sort cards by animal or by color, and stay sharp as the rule flips on you mid-game. Math Sprint puts your mental math to the test in a fast 60-second sprint, comparing expressions on the fly. Also new: Profiles. Add a quick profile for everyone in the family — up to 8 — so each player gets their own high scores, daily streak, and difficulty setting. Perfect for one device with multiple kids: no more mixed-up scores or broken streaks when it's someone else's turn.

Added a new Whack-a-Mole game. Added support for Mandarin Chinese (Traditional and Simplified Chinese), Spanish, Hindi, and French. Updated to use local date time for streak calculation instead of UTC.
