Brain games are the ones you win by thinking rather than by fast fingers: logic grids, memory, numbers, words and strategy. Here are the ones on crokocat, free in your browser.
For pure logic, Grid Zen is sudoku where every puzzle has one answer and never needs a guess, Pixel Riddle is a nonogram that reveals a pixel picture, Flag Field is minesweeper whose fields can always be finished by logic, and Find the Sheep is a queens-style grid with one sheep in every colour, row and column. Slide 15 is the classic sliding number puzzle, Last Peg is peg solitaire, and Box Bunny is Sokoban with a bunny pushing crates.
Memory trains exactly what it says: turn over pairs on a board that grows from six cards to thirty. 2048 and Ten Pop are number puzzles, Fiver is a five-letter word guess game and Code Quote is a cryptogram, where every number stands for a letter of a famous saying. For strategy, Pawnstorm is chess against a bot that gets sharper as you climb.
Yes. Every brain game on crokocat is free in your browser, with no download and no sign-up, on desktop, phone and tablet.
Grid Zen, Pixel Riddle, Find the Sheep and Memory have no timer — you can think as long as you like. Flag Field keeps a par time, but only for stars.
Yes, most of these are made with adults in mind: sudoku, nonograms, minesweeper, chess, a cryptogram and a word guess game, each with levels that get harder as you go.
