Mensa Academy, released on PC, PS3, X360, Wii and 3DS, was developed by Silverball and published by Square Enix. The game is addressed to people interested in intelligence tests and the possibility of developing their intellectual talents. The prestigious Mensa association helped in creating the questions.
Mechanics
The game is based on funny mini-games. For the most part, the player has to choose the right solution from a number of available answer options. The assessment is based on the accuracy of the choice and the response time. An interesting solution is the option of a multi-person competition, in which the participants of the game compete in solving a series of tasks on the same screen.
Game modes
The game offers three game modes. Play mode consists of more than 100 challenges that test memory, language skills, logical thinking, mathematical abilities and perceptiveness. In the Coach Mode, the player can submit to a training regime that should improve the results of the Test Mode, e.g. a 30-question test testing the Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
Technical aspects
Mensa Academy stands out from the competition with its attractive audiovisual setting. Individual mini-games are presented in a form resembling a cut-out theatre. Graphics and animations are full of humorous accents, and the fun is accompanied by pleasant soundtrack.
