The ergonomics of this device are impressive, making it really easy to hold and play. Both the build quality and playability are good, providing plenty of entertainment.The device requires 3 AAA batteries (not included) and features a simple power on/off button and a sound mute option conveniently located on the top. With three memory boost levels—easy, medium, and hard—there's a suitable challenge for different skill levels. Interestingly, my granddaughter prefers the more challenging level.The BrainBolt Boost offers multiple modes, including Marathon (test how long you can play without making a mistake), Sound Duos (discover and match 10 different sounds randomly in each game), and Classic (each level adds a new lit tile to remember). Switching between modes is best done with the user-friendly manual, as guessing isn't very intuitive.Overall, this portable brain booster game is great for travels and has become a part of my granddaughter's playtime routine. I would recommended for anyone child looking to enhance memory skills in a fun and interactive way.

This toy keeps the little rascal entertained on long car journeys. I also find myself that it's great fun and helps boost memory performance too. Whether a child or adult this is epic. It's simple to get the gist of yet gives a good engaging and rather addictive challenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear brigh lights, sound optional - needs 3 AAA batteries

The media could not be loaded. Once I read the instructions this brain bolt is easy to use.It’s very easy to hold and the colours are nice and bright.It does need 3 AAA batteries.It takes a bit of patience on level 1 as you have to wait for the colours to go off before pressing the ‘odd colour’s space after the lights have gone off - if you press too soon or hold down the odd colour before the other lights go off it won’t register. A good patience game too.The memory game with sounds is fun.Very easy to travel with and the sound can be turned off. There is also a counter.May be good for old age too?

The media could not be loaded. I thought this would be a fun diversion on long car journeys but the games are short, somewhat easy and although cheating defeats the object of them very easy to cheat at. I hoped there would be a Simon type memory game in it somewhere but sadly no. The best is the matching pairs of sounds but as the sounds don't play at the beginning of the game you are left to randomly push the buttons until you find two that match and as there are only 10 buttons, so 5 pairs, the game finishes very quickly. Other games have you press the different coloured light after they all go out. The harder levels test reactions more than memory.I've added a video example of the game play and some of the sounds it makes whilst playing you can mute the sound if you wish, this is a bit pointless on the match sounds pairs game. I struggle to understand why a Simon type game wasn't included in this, just pushing a different coloured dot out of ten choices gets old quickly.Takes 3AAA batteries (not included), the battery cover is held shut with the screw to keep out inquisitive fingers which is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing at all Like the Iconic Simon Game.

Learning Resources BrainBolt Boost Electronic Memory Game arrives in the manufacturers branded box and takes 3 AAA batteries (slim thin ones).This is a game to play as a single user and not as a team game unless each person takes their turn.Nice design with grip handles.There is 3 games in total, my favourite is the pairs sound match, you have to find the sound that matches the button you have pressed, very similar to card game pairs except this is sounds, fun it is.There is a sequence lights, where you press the light after it has turned off, theres fast and slow modes for this game.Good for eye and hand co-ordination as well as listening skills and concentration too.The only disappointment for me is that to insert or change the batteries you need to use a screwdriver but I well understand the safety precaution which is implemented.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well made and fun

This is very well made and works perfectly. It requires 3 AAA batteries and the batteries seem to last. It has different games and difficulty levels. My 4 year old had fun playing and does reach for it every now and then, but it doesnt keep him engaged for a very long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good travel toy

Thanks to the shape of this, it’s very easy for small hands to pick up, and even my 3 year old could master the memory light game. It has a few modes, so you can have sound on or off - which is a blessing on car journeys. But when the sound is on, the lights and noises make it very engaging. It plays a happy little tube when you complete a game.The lights are bright and the buttons responsive to gentle touches, even from small hands. A pretty good game for adults and kids. Does need 3xAAA batteries, and a small screwdriver to open the battery compartment.

4.0 out of 5 stars lack of challenge quite soon

g.c. · 20 May 2024

The media could not be loaded. this is an electronic memory game, it has a pop fidget user interface design, grip handles on both sides, make it looks like a game console, it takes 3 x aaa batteries to work, unfortunately batteries not includedthere are basically 3 gaming modes, mainly remember the position of the flashing light, or sound; memory boost game has 3 speed setting, the max speed is quite challenging for adult toohowever, level of difficulty is very limited, even kids will find lack of challenge as soon as they can handle the way to play or the max speedall in all, this game will train up little kids memory, but it maybe a bit easy for older kids like over 8

Best 10$ I ever spent.
