Cognitive Games
A set of short cognitive games: task switching, response control, working memory and more. Each game takes 2 to 15 minutes and tracks your performance separately.
01 · Task switching
Task Switch
A timed task-switching drill that trains cognitive flexibility: each round a stimulus appears under one of two rules and you classify it against that rule.
02 · Inhibition
Response Conflict
Train response inhibition and selective attention with the Flanker and Simon tasks. Act on the relevant feature of each stimulus while ignoring a conflicting one.
03 · Working memory
Pincode Game
A timed working-memory drill: memorise a flashing digit sequence and type it back in order, reversed, or sorted.
04 · Perceptual speed
Code Match
A perceptual-speed drill against a shrinking clock: spot the exact match among near-identical codes that hide swapped pairs and lookalike characters.
05 · Mental arithmetic
Target Number
An arithmetic-flexibility drill: combine four numbers with the basic operations to reach a target, searching backward from the goal under a round clock.
06 · Timing
Sweet Spot
A multi-target timing game: rotating dials spawn and expire around you, and each scores only if you click while its needle sweeps the target arc.
07 · Risk judgment
Pump
The balloon risk game: pump for money, cash in before the pop, and learn the distribution. Measures risk appetite and how you adjust after losses.
08 · Planning
Skyline
A tower-rearrangement planning puzzle scored against a verified minimum move count, with no clock: pausing to plan before the first move is the skill.
09 · Deduction
Mystery Figure
A hidden-figure deduction game with count-only feedback and no clock: only attempts score, and the results show your gap to information-efficient play.
