- Brain Test 5 is the latest in the micropuzzle series coming to mobile
- It offers quick, accessible challenges that you can complete in minutes
- Play it now on Android or wait for the iOS release planned later this month
When I say puzzles, if you are someone who likes action or fast-paced entertainment then you may find it tempting to click. But if so, you might want to stop and take a look at the latest in the series, Brain Test 5, which recently arrived on Android (and is coming to iOS soon) because it offers something different.
For one, it focuses entirely on the micro-puzzle genre. That is to say, instead of solving Sudoku squares or speeding up your chess game, you could be solving simple logical problems, like helping warm a cold house or preparing a meal correctly.
It’s all presented in an accessible cartoony style, with each puzzle taking less than a minute to understand and solve if you’re quick enough. And the best part is that it can also be played offline if you have to spare a few minutes during a long train journey.

While Brain Test 5 claims to increase your IQ, I think that may be a bit far-fetched. The truth is that Brain Test, as a series, has much more in common with Stupid Ways to Die than Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training. Of course, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and it will undoubtedly change the mental state.
And whatever you may say about it, it’s an easy and accessible take on the puzzle genre. You can count on the Android version of Brain Test 5 right now, or wait for its arrival on iOS with a planned release on February 28th.
In the meantime, if Brain Test 5 still barely challenges you, you’re in luck. Because we’ve ranked the best puzzle games on iOS that will definitely challenge even the most dedicated crossword solvers and chess players among our readers!
