HAPPYneuron presents an innovative game for the iPhone, SplitWords that claims to exercise brain muscles. The ‘brain game’ pushes users to form complete words as quickly as possible from a set of syllables in a table.
The words are categorized into themes and consist of 2 or 3 syllable parts. iPhone gamers can also publish their high scores and compare themselves with other players. SplitWords is presented in English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch, testing multi-lingual skills.
“Regular engagement with language games can expand the knowledge of new words and make retrieval of familiar ones much easier,” remarked Dr. Bernard Croisile, M.D., Ph.D., and Chief Science Officer at HAPPYneuron.
“We are excited to continue to innovate and to extend our brain fitness programs to the iPhone platform, giving users new ways to exercise their brain. HAPPYneuron’s iPhone brain game is a great way to train your language skills during your down time on the go,” stated Laura Fay, CEO of HAPPYneuron, Inc.
Two versions of the game are offered, the Quick challenge which features one set of syllables and the standard game wherein gamers can explore their linguistic skills up to 100 levels.
iPhone owners can download the game from the Apple App Store for $3.99. A free demo version is also available.
