Brain Quest for the Nintendo DS handheld system

We love it when classic games are released in tech-savvy reincarnations. That's why we were excited to find out that Brain Quest, the popular question and answer card game, is back and cooler than ever. Instead of flipping through a book, kids can play a new hand-held video game console, which now offers a fast-paced Brain Mode, a Quest Mode, which combines a quiz with a short story, and a multiplayer mode. Same great questions on math, science, English, history, and geography, now just totally up to speed with your video game-obsessed kid. "My daughter loved it. It keeps her busy on car trips and it doesn’t rot her brain!" –Debbie, Parenting editor (Grades 3&4 and Grades 5&6 available)
