Fun Brain Teaser Games that You Should Try

Having games to play is great for entertaining oneself. Yet, some games are even better because they challenge you to do something more than just entertain yourself. Using your brain to solve problems and get better at finding the best way to approach a new problem is one of the best ways to improve in all things problem-solving-related.

Here are the best games, brainteasers, call them as you will, to help you improve your skills.

Tetris – The Classic Challenge

Tetris is one of those games which can be easy and really challenging, depending on how fast the game is, meaning how quickly you are going to level up. The game can go on until you fail, meaning until the blocks reach the top of the screen. Being fast thinking and rotating the blocks to make a full line is your goal, to never let the blocks reach the top. This classic is available in so many formats that you should not be worried about finding one.

The Incredible Machine – Problem Solving at Its Finest

You are given a set amount of resources to help solve a problem, for example, get object A from location B to location C. There might be more qualifiers involved, but these ones are the most common. The game starts off easy but at the impossible difficulty, things get so difficult that you might spend hours trying to solve a single puzzle. The game is available for different devices, and even online. Find the version that suits you best and you should have plenty of challenges to tackle.
