Square Enix has announced a new brain-training game titled Mensa Academy.
The game will contain "fun and stimulating" mini-games, and is fully endorsed by Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Challenges will be divided into 5 disciplines: Numeracy, Language, Logic, Memory, and Visual.
Roger Cheung, Head of Acquisitions at Square Enix Europe, said that "Mensa Academy is the most credible game of its kind to date from the definitive experts in the field of measuring and fostering intelligence. The power of the mind is fascinating, the real challenge is how to best maximise its potential. Mensa Academy tangibly tackles this in a user-friendly way, whilst providing hours of entertainment.”
Mensa Academy is out on July 27, 2012 in the UK, Scandinavia and PAL regions on Wii and Nintendo 3DS, PC. But the games will be coming to HD consoles and iOS and Android phones in the near future.
