Why Play Brain Shift?
Brain Shift challenges your ability to quickly shift between rules based on spatial cues. As letter-number pairs appear unpredictably, you must process context fast and adjust your strategy in real time.
Mental Flexibility
Adapt to changing rules based on spatial position.
Task Switching
Identify which rule applies based on where the stimulus appears.
Working Memory
Hold both rules in mind and recall the correct one instantly.
Brain Shift vs Other Flexibility Games
Brain Shift simplifies the rules but makes the switching unpredictable. Instead of rotating between rules on a schedule, you must react in the moment, strengthening real-time cognitive control.
