Where Tetris meets Sudoku. The concept is simple: add and subtract as quickly as you can to obtain a given number. If you need a 5, combine a 3 and a 2 with a plus sign, or a 6 and a 1 with a minus sign between them. Be ready: it’s fast-paced, but you don’t need to be a maths whizz to give it a blast.

Some games are there for the fun, and others are designed to boost your brain power. Professor Rubik’s Brain Fitness is one of the latter. Indeed, this isn’t about "playing games", but rather "training your brain". But if you’re still traumatised by the famous multicoloured cube, don’t worry: the training here is much more straightforward and much more fun.

This surrealist game is love at first sight. You’ll need to put that grey matter to work if you’re to stop a sleepwalker from falling into the traps that stand in his way. The dreamlike environment is inspired by the impossible perspectives of Escher and Salvador Dali. It’s a game brimming with charm that all ages will love, as long as they’re able to use a bit of logic.
