I realised I misunderstood the “Start New Training” button, I assumed that it would create a new profile.

I’ll have to totally re-judge this game now!

Yes. You can do as many Brain Training sessions you want in a day. The only limitation is that you can only oplay each game once per session.

Three sessions each day, that’s new to me! Thanks for your answer!

Hey, SPMWinkel. Give the game another chance.

On Brain Marking Mode, you can only do one session per 24-hours.

On Brain Training, however, you can do multiple Brain Training sessions in a day. So, even though you could only play Sudoku once in a session, you could play 3 sessions that day, each with Sudoku.

BUt, you can’t just play one game over and over again and increase your score that way (now, in the higher levels, one game of Sudoku might take 30 minutes).

Great review Doug, I tried the trial and you describe the game well, even including things I didn’t discover in my Trial period.
I removed the software pretty soon however, because I found it pretty limiting that only one brainmarking and playing two games of 2-5 minutes (even when it expands to 3, 4 or 6) is all that is allowed for training your brain.
Sure, you can play games without them having effect on your score, but if I have 30 minutes to spend on Sudoku, I’d like to get my level as high as possible by spending my 30 minutes on that.

Can you verify that indeed one brainmarking and (in the starting days of the game) only 2 braintraining games are having effect on the actual progress?
If I miss something, I’d be glad to try the trial again with my remaining days and quite possibly purchase it! B)

Thanks!

Hey, tjchan. Based upon the comments during Beta testing, it seems like Memorics was most people’s hardest game. That is why I recommended it be switched with Encyclopedia.

It is a great game! Very addictive.

Excellent review, Doug! I’m still stuck at having minesweeper unlocked…just got most games to Med/Hard levels. Memorics is my worst game….

I’ll go and train my brain more. =P
