More Online Brain Games - No-Cost Exercises for Your Brain

By Phyllis Staff, Ph.D. | September 8, 2008

Recently I featured a brain game that relies on dedicated focus for completion.  Today I have another game that I really enjoy.  This game engages both sides of the brain, so if you typically use the left side of your brain predominantly, as for example, writers, programmers, and statisticians do, this game is for you.  It’s easy, fun, and can become quite challenging.  You set the level of difficulty and move into more difficult levels only when you are ready.

Here’s the link to “Heraldry:”

I like this game because it is unusual and commands my attention. In fact, attention and memory are required to be successful at “Heraldry.”  It took me a couple of times to find my personal focus, but then . . . ok, it’s fun!

By the way, use the link above rather than the search function to avoid a charge for this game.

Another site to investigate is CogOLog.  This is a government-funded, cognitive games site.  Try out the demo game first.  You’ll find the site speedy and well-designed.

There is no charge to play; however, you must sign up to access the full range of brain games.

Enjoy!
