Competitive brain games

Most brain games leave you alone with your score. On Versus everyone gets the same puzzle on the same clock, so the only question is who is better today.

Two ways to compete

In Points mode you play the games one after another and add up your scores. In Race mode the first player to clear every game wins, and a game you lose comes back with a new puzzle.

Records worth chasing

The Hall of fame keeps the three fastest wins or best scores on each game, for each difficulty. Players are ranked by the records they hold, and the full race has its own record.

A fair fight

Everyone in a room gets the same puzzle at the same moment. Once you finish, you can watch the others play, but they cannot see your screen until they are done too.
