A selection of free mobile games to train your brain.
Science has proven that it is necessary to train not only muscles, but also the brain. Without constant stress, he begins to get rid of nerve cells (neurons) because of unnecessary use. And this already leads to problems with memory, attention, concentration, general performance decreases and other consequences appear. Therefore, it is important to constantly 'strain' the brain, this is helped by puzzle games.
When choosing puzzles, it is important to consider that they are varied. In order not to focus on one of the tasks of the brain, but to develop it as a whole. I tried to take this into account in a selection of five free games.
Skillz
This is a whole set of puzzles from 70 different levels. The tasks are varied: determine by eye the approximate percentage of the aquarium fullness, solve a mathematical expression for speed, choose the same paired memory cards, indicate the colors in sequence from light to dark or vice versa, remember the background color and restore it with maximum accuracy, and much more.
The plus is that new levels are unlocked for stars, which are given for completing tasks well. For one solution, you can get up to 5 stars. Therefore, it is required to solve various exercises and, accordingly, different brain capabilities are trained.
The game is free, but there are ads. I recommend it, very exciting.

Rop
The only goal of the game is to build special figures using ropes with knots. You can only change the position of the rope by moving the knots through special cells. At first, the game seems simple and elementary, but as you progress the figures become more complicated, and several ropes and more knots appear on the levels at once.
There are 143 levels in the game. That's a lot, especially for a free game. It is beautifully drawn, minimalistic and fun, but there is one nuance. After passing several levels, you need to watch an advertising video, it opened for me for 30 seconds, which is a bit too much.
Anyway, I recommend the Rop game. I am sure you will be delayed for a long time.

94%
In this game you have to think like the majority of the population. A word, phrase or image is given and you need to select associative words for this. For example, for the word 'ticket' it is: cinema, plane, theater, train, and so on. To solve one problem, you need to guess all 94% of the options offered by other users. That is, one word was chosen by 35% of the participants, the second word – 23%, the third – 13%, the fourth – 12%, the fifth – 11%. In total, it turns out just 94%.
The difficulty is that you may have other associations, for example, with the word 'money'. For some it is 'wallet', 'work' and 'ruble', while for others it is 'happiness', 'power' and 'wealth'. But this is also the interest of the game: move away from your views and try to think like another person.
The game has 255 levels, each with three tasks. They are opened for stars, which are given for completing tasks. There are special coins for buying hints, they can be replenished for real currency.
The game is free, there is advertising.

Symmetry
A game about symmetry. A field of cells is given, divided in half. One half consists of transparent cells, the other is filled with cells of different colors. The goal of the game is to quickly create a symmetrical copy of the opposite half of the field. To do this, you need to fill in the required cells by pressing, and the color changes by pressing again on an already filled cell.
Sounds simple, but that's only at the first levels. Gradually, the number of cells will increase on the field, cells of several colors will appear at once, while the task must be completed quickly. If something does not work out, you can turn off the timer and play at a calm pace, but this way the lion's share of the difficulty is lost.
The game is free, it has a lot of levels, but sometimes ads are shown. But there is a mode for two players on the same screen: you compete with each other in speed.
I recommend it, very exciting.

Paperama
Who at school did not like to make various figures out of paper: airplanes, boats, envelopes and much more? In this game you also need to work with paper – fold virtual figures out of it by dragging your finger over any side or corner. When drawing up a figure, it is important to do it as accurately as possible and with a minimum amount of bends.
The more accurate and less bending, the more stars you will receive for completing the task. Traditionally, new levels are opened for the stars.
Also, every day several tips are given, additional ones can be bought for real money.
The game has 96 levels, all of them are as difficult as we need.
