Great Brain Challenger!
This is a great game to exercise your brain. A friendly light bulb (light bulb for bright idea?) guides you through timed tests in 4 categories - language, memorization, math and analytical - that get progressively more challenging as you improve your score. You can only take the daily exam once each day, but you can take unlimited practice exams. Also, different levels in each of the 4 subjects tests are unlocked as your score improves, adding more variety to the gameplay.
The graphics are just so-so, but sufficient for the purpose. It's a game for testing your brain, so don't expect to be entertained, except by light bulb's encouraging and, at times, funny comments. He's really quite clever and interacts with the player. For instance, when I logged on the game just now (it's after 1:00 a.m. here), he asked me "Shouldn't you be in bed?" Now, how cute is that? The only complaint I have is that, as cute as the little light bulb is, his voice is kind of irritating. But his comments are also captioned, so I just turn the sound down.
Whoever programmed the game did a great job. I would have given it fives in all categories except for the mediocre graphics and sound. But I'm not really sure that more should be expected, since this isn't really that type of a game.
I haven't unlocked all the levels yet, but my scores are getting better. It's already improving my memory and recall somewhat. If it actually makes me smarter in the long run, you can bet I'll be singing Brainiversity's praises for a long time. I did buy the game after the trial and I'm really delighted to see that there is a Brainiversity 2.
If you like word and memorization games or are wanting to improve your memory and sharpen your thought processes and aren't concerned whether it has mind-bending graphics or animation, you'll probably enjoy this game.

Challenging
I played the hour trial. I spread it over a few days so I took the daily exams and the game plotted my improvement (or in some areas demise). One of the tests is name and face recognition which gets progressively harder. This is a different skill set than the regular word and math tests. As with the other tests they were not always what you would expect. You are timed in each test. There were other tests in each category that you unlock as you play more of the game.
The graphics were not exceptional but for this they really do not need to be as it probably would distract you from the task at hand.
The really annoying and distracting thing was the "voice" of the light bulb guide in the game. It sounded like a fly or bee buzzing. If I purchased the game I would need to mute that sound.
If you want to build your brain with different challenges then I would definitely recommend this game.

WOW!!!!
This game is not for the light-hearted. This is for anyone who is trying to make sure they don't loose their mind to old age. This is way better than those games they sell to kids on the game consoles. DEFINITELY challenging!!!

Fun For The Trial
I didn't mind this game. It was a good challenge.
Good Parts:
Gameplay was good. Simillar to other Brain Games I've played such as Big Brain Academy. Daily Exam was fun and practice was a good way to tune my sklls.
The minigames were a great challenge and really tested al 4 corners of my brain.
Stamps were included. This made the game fun as I wanted to collect them all.
The game was fun to play.
OK Parts:
Game did get a little boring at times.
Should've been more games unlocked at the start.
Bad Parts:
Graphics are poor. They really need some re-working.
This game is one of those games I'd be happy to play for the free trial and leave it at that. It's great fun and shall provide entertainment for everyone.
