BrainHQ is well-designed, but it's a paid subscription with only a small free trial. If you want the same core skills — working memory, attention, processing speed, reaction time — without paying, this list covers each one with a free game that plays instantly in your browser.
BrainHQ offers a limited free trial with a handful of exercises, but full access requires a paid subscription. Our site is 100% free — no signup, no paywall — and covers the same core skills: working memory, attention, processing speed and reaction time.
For working memory, use our Dual N-Back and Digit Span games. For attention and processing speed, use Stroop Test and Reaction Time. For visual-spatial skills, use Pattern Match and Codebreaker. All are free and play instantly in the browser.
The research behind BrainHQ centers on specific paradigms (like N-Back and Useful Field of View). You can train those same paradigms free using our tools. What matters more than the platform is doing it daily for 10 minutes.
10–15 minutes a day, 5–6 days a week. Consistency matters more than session length. Rotate between working memory, attention, and reaction time to avoid plateaus.
