Most brain games test what you remember after the fact. This one tests whether your brain can hold a set of instructions and act on them at the right moment while something else has your full attention. That skill is called prospective memory, and it is one of the cognitive abilities most directly tied to daily independence as you age.

This game cannot be played on its own. It gives you four tasks to carry out while reading a specific article, and the challenge is whether you remember to do them when the moment arrives.

Upgrade now for access and have a new brain game delivered to you every week.
