    Better in handheld mode

    This is great, much better in handheld mode as the timer doesn't appear to be an issue. It seems slower in tv to respond to things you can do faster on the touchscreen. Like no handicap or latency adjustment is taken into consideration for moving a cursor vs someone taping the screen. But it's a great challenge, kids love it.

    If you want a challenge then get this game! You’ll be exercising your brain and thinking fast to keep up with the time limit. It’s always fun to show off who has the better brain amongst friends/other players online.

    Full disclosure, I got this when it was on sale for half off. It's a fun collection of a bunch of mini games that challenge different kinds of thinking, from memory to visual to computing (math). No actual online multiplayer, but you can play against people's "ghosts", or recordings of exactly how they've played.

    Good for playing local multiplayer. Game has a handicap feature that allows you to compete on equal grounds with someone way younger so good for family with kids. The mini games are mostly puzzle games.

    Gift for my daughter for Christmas. Not her favorite game but she goes back to it periodically. I love that she is playing and working out her mind (somewhat). Fun games with fun learning experiences.

    Me and my teen enjoy playing this game. I love that it challenges our minds, especially my teen’s! Lol I definitely feel like I’m “exercising my brain”, after a few rounds. Worth the purchase.

    I've always loved all the big brain games. A refreshing change of pace and you can truly pick it up and just play as much as you want and still get a feeling of accomplishment or progress.

    I got this when it was on sale for $15. It's very similar to the Wii version of the game. While it's fun in short intervals, you won't get much fun out of the game unless you're playing other people.

    Really nice family oriented game that you can play with your kids. Can be a little be challenge for very young ones (7 or less) and boring for older ones (12 or up).

    I got this game on sale and it offered a great balance from what the game offered to value. Fun games and modes are present but are limited after a couple of playthroughs.

    Got this for X-mas and it was a great deal! You need at least two controllers to play with others, I thought you could use 1/2 of the one controller, but I can't.

    Another staple game for every Switch library. Disappointed that the "Nintendo Online" play is playing other people's ghosts. Expected better for a brand new game.

    This game is setup for some quick brain workout without any commitments. Some of the games can get repetitive over time and are able to see how your skills improve by completing the games more quickly than before. If there were DLC, I would get them.
