Clockwork Brain

mzl.hybmoqly.320x480-75

Clockwork Brain” is a fun, free app for iDevices.  Sprocket, the robot, gives easy instructions for each of the mini-games that come in the free version.  Included are:

★ Scrolling Silhouettes: Trains Visual/Spatial Ability
★ Anagrams: Trains Language Processing
★ Missing Tiles: Trains Arithmetic
★ Chase the Numbers: Trains Memory
★ Size Matters (Unlockable Bonus): Trains Visual/Spatial Ability

You can earn access to trials of the other mini-games offered in the “in-app purchases” by collecting tokens within the game.  (Be sure to restrict in-app purchases if you do not want your little one to start buying up more game packs.)

The steampunk look differentiates “Clockwork Brain” from other apps of its type.  I also like that it is not another “skill and drill” app, and provokes some different types of thinking.  If you are really feeling adventurous, you can set the language to something other than your native tongue, and try to learn some new words while you’re playing!

  1. Thanks for reviewing our game, Teri. I am very happy that you liked it!

    I’ve noticed a few schools using A Clockwork Brain for teaching maths and logic. If you’d like to try it out in your class, I’d love to give you a code for the premium version so that you can have all the mini games. Get back to me @pixelsprite
