About this game
Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain turns picture recognition, memory, analysis, calculation and visual reasoning into activities. Identify an animal as its picture becomes clearer, remember information or connect railway tracks. Practise individual activities in Solo Mode, then take a test that reports your in-game Big Brain Brawn. Outfits can also be unlocked for your avatar. Local competition lets each participant choose a different difficulty. Play touch-screen battles with a partner, or use a Joy-Con each for matches with up to four players. Ghost battles use recorded performances, so opponents need not be playing simultaneously. Accessing worldwide ghost data online requires a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Collected in series
Big Brain Academy turns remembering, counting and spotting shapes into short, playful challenges. Speed matters, but so does choosing the right answer, whether you are practising alone or comparing results with other players.
