EA Joins Brain Quest

Another brain trainer? Close, as Electronic Arts has announced two Nintendo DS titles based on the Brain Quest brand.

The Casual Entertainment label of Electronic Arts today announced plans to bring America's #1 educational bestseller Brain Quest to the Nintendo DS, just in time for back-to-school this September. In partnership with the New York based Workman Publishing Company, EA will release two Brain Quest games centered on the curriculum-based series that has sold more than 28 million copies: one for third and fourth graders, and another for fifth and sixth graders.

"Brain Quest is EA Casual Entertainment's first educational game and we are thrilled to bring this beloved brand into the videogame space," said Robert Nashak, VP of Casual Studios at EA Casual Entertainment. "By adapting the series to the DS, we are able to reach today's tech savvy children and provide them with an educational experience that is interactive, engaging, and fun."

Staying true to the curriculum-based card deck series, the Brain Quest video games are loaded with over 6,000 unique questions in each game, developed specifically for the third/fourth and fifth/sixth grade levels and can keep kids entertained whether in the car, at home, or while waiting for the school bus. The game's Brain Mode provides quick to the fun action that enables kids to jump right in, immersing themselves in fast-paced quiz games, as they answer questions on their favorite subjects: English, history, math, science, and geography. Brain Quest adds another element to the fun -- a Quest Mode where players follow a light story that pits them against successively more difficult challenges in each category. The game's Multiplayer Mode allows players to challenge their friends and siblings or play cooperatively, so kids of all ages can get in on the action and enjoy the brain-twisting fun!

Throughout the game, players who answer questions correctly score points to redeem collectibles that can be unlocked by winning achievements. These collectibles can then be used to customize up to six scenes in the game.

Both Brain Quest games will be available September 2008 in North America.
