What are other brain working games besides soduku?

Question

Are there other electronic brain working games? I'm hoping brain stimulation can help prevent a brain anyurism one day...any idea how much they cost? Thanks : )

Answer 1

Its not electronic but I have always liked the Rubiks cube. About 8 bucks at Target.

Answer 2

First, try regular Sudoku rather than electronic. The Rubik's Cube answer was a really good one! Go to a bookstore and in the puzzles & games section, look for brainteaser books. MENSA publishes them quite often.

Answer 3

dough brain simulation games will prevent an aneurysm .. but research has been done to suggest the keeping a brain mentally active with such puzzles will prolong forms of dementia
( i can't quote any resources, but i work in media, and seem to remember, reading a news story about that. )

i love sudoku also

other games i would suggest
minesweeper
tetris ( and tetris type games like diamond mine etc )

Answer 4

I've seen an electronic Kakuro -- Kakuro is somewhat similar to sudoku but there you have rows and columns that have to add to a certain number, as in Sudoku no number can be repeated.

I also own an electronic Yahtzee, although that game is dominated by luck, you do have to do "some" thinking to make the laws of probability work in your favor.

Answer 5

I kind of like Bookworm on yahoo games. I made archivist once.
You can play the free web game, or buy the deluxe version for $25. It's fun and almost as addictive as Yahoo Answers.

Answer 6

some other brain working games are
scrabble
word searches
cross word puzles

Answer 7

rubiks cubes, metal or cast iron brain teasers (you can find them cheap on eBay, and some even come with pretty stands, so you can display them).

Answer 8

ya you can try the crosswords.. I think there are many crosswords available free on the net..
