NEW GAME – Press this button for two seconds to quit  
your current game, and select your choice of modes.  
Dear Brain Gamers,  
END ROUND – This allows you to end the current game  
and calculates the score up to that point. This may be  
most useful in the Word Hunt game when you can not  
think of any more words, but there is still time remain-  
ing. Or Recall when you have already memorized  
words and there is still time remaining.  
I am delighted that you are one of the millions of  
people who want to keep their minds sharp and have  
fun doing it. After two decades studying how we can  
improve memory and prevent Alzheimer’s disease, I  
have found there is a lot we can do. Genetics accounts  
for only about a third of what determines our health  
as we age – that means that simple, everyday lifestyle  
choices have a major impact on our memory and brain  
fitness. My books, The Memory Bible, The Memory  
Prescription, and The Longevity Bible, detail my strate-  
gies – physical and mental exercise, stress reduction  
techniques, the Healthy Brain Diet, and more – to boost  
your brain power and live longer, better. However, you  
are well on your way to boosting your brain power by  
playing Brain Games.  
NEW GAME – This allows you to cancel the current  
game and return to the Main Menu. If selected during  
Braincheck mode, it will cancel your score for that  
session.  
KEY PAD – Press these buttons when playing each of  
the exercises. The various keys will work in different  
ways with each of the games. Most of the time, they  
will represent the same layout as shown on screen  
or correspond to the numbers at the bottom of the  
screen.  
Brain Games will teach you my basic memory tech-  
nique – Look, Snap, Connect – and help you perfect  
these strategies. Besides being fun to play, Brain  
Games will help your memory abilities improve almost  
immediately. You will also “cross-train” your brain with  
left-brain (verbal memory and logical skills – e.g., writ-  
ing letters) and right-brain (visual memory and mental  
skills – e.g., reading maps) games. Brain Games lets  
you monitor your progress, while setting and increasing  
a pace that works for your memory ability as you train  
your brain and gauge your improvement.  
UNDO – In some games you can use this button to  
reverse or UNDO a selection, prior to pressing ENTER.  
RESET – When a blunt point is inserted, this button will  
RESET the game to its original factory settings.  
MAIN MENU  
BRAINCHECK – Select BRAINCHECK from the Main  
Menu to start your daily exercise program. Choose  
the skill level you wish to play at, and that’s it! Brain  
Games will now run you through the 5 different exer-  
cises (described below) of your routine. This is the  
mode that you will be tested in and that will record your  
score. You can check this in the SCORE mode (see  
below). Remember to use the Look, Snap, Connect  
technique!  
You can use Look, Snap, Connect for everyday memory  
tasks (lists, errands, names and faces) and build on  
this basic technique to become a memory champion.  
First master the basic skill:  
Look – learn to focus your attention on the new  
information you wish to remember. Slow down, take  
a deep breath, and ignore distractions.  
Snap – create a mental snapshot or visual image  
in your mind’s eye of what you want to remember.  
Make it personal and give it detail to help fix it into  
your memory.  
TRAINING – This is where you can train or practice the  
different brain games without affecting your score. Af-  
ter pressing the START button, select TRAINING. Use  
the SCROLL buttons to toggle through the five different  
exercises (Sequence, Flashcard, Mind Game, Word  
Hunt, and Recall) and press Enter to select. Next,  
choose the skill level you wish to play at. You are now  
ready to start your training session.  
Connect – link up your mental snapshots in you  
mind’s eye. This association step helps put the new  
memories into context and helps you retrieve them  
later when you need them.  
Sequence – In this brain game your objective is to  
put the random numbers in the grid into the proper  
sequence or order (lowest to highest). The numbers  
in the top row of the grid correspond to the places  
of the buttons in the top row of the key pad. The  
numbers in the second row of the grid correspond to  
the places of the buttons in the second row of the key  
pad. If you select a number out of sequence an X will  
appear, and you will continue onto the next grid. If  
the sequence is correct, a check will appear. There  
will be several grids in each game. After completing  
the exercise, the game will display how many you got  
correct.  
To remember a list of errands, create a story using  
Look, Snap, Connect: You need to stop at the store to  
get some aspirin and a hair brush before you meet your  
sister. In your mind’s eye, you see your sister taking  
some aspirin and then brushing her hair.  
For learning and recalling names and faces, think  
up a Name Snap and a Face Snap – then Connect  
these mental pictures or Snaps together. Thinking of  
a visual image or Snap for a name can be easy: See  
a house for Mr. House, a gold coin for Ms. Gold, or a  
carnival worker for Mrs. Carney. For more complex  
names, combine visual words that sound like the  
name – see Mr. Domachow eating chicken chow mein  
under a dome. For a face snap, look for a distinguish-  
ing feature and then connect it to the name snap. If  
Mrs. Washington has prominent lips, see her kissing  
George Washington on the lips. At first it may seem a  
bit wacky; however, you’ll not only have fun but you’ll  
improve your everyday memory skills. Remember-  
ing names and faces is the most common memory  
complaint.  
Our research group at UCLA has studied the effective-  
ness of Look, Snap, Connect, along with other lifestyle  
strategies that improve memory and brain health. We  
found that after only two weeks, these techniques have  
a significant effect on memory performance scores  
and dramatically increase brain efficiency. The more  
you play Brain Games, the better you’ll get at it and the  
more brain power you’ll have.

Flashcard – In this brain game your objective is to  
add, subtract, multiply or divide the numbers that the  
exercise gives you. You must answer the equation  
with the correct answer using the key pads that align  
with the number bar at the bottom of the screen.  
Each question is timed. The higher the skill level, the  
harder the equation. After completing the exercise,  
the game will display how many you got correct.  
Have fun,  
Dr. Gary Small
