Challenge your memory, focus, speed, math, logic and words with 3 quick games a day, all drawn in pencil on notebook paper.
Squiggle Brain is a set of short, hand-drawn mini-games for adults. Each day it picks a 3-game workout across six skills, and you can play any game any time in free play.
A fresh workout every day, about three minutes long. Tick it off and keep your streak.
Each game gets harder when you're on a roll and eases off when you miss.
Track your scores by skill and beat your personal best on a six-skill chart.
16 doodled games, each a minute or so. Every one is free to play.
