Moving on to describe the puzzles themselves there is a selection of different puzzles available based on the academia of a primary school child - basic numeracy, spelling and problem solving are all represented here. However this in itself hinders the flow of gameplay as the player is all but forced to play in short bursts. This offers quite a lot of value for money as the game should, if played as recommended, last for at least a month of play.
The game has a staggered set-up and aims to make the player play once a day for around 10 - 20 minutes with five puzzles being offered and an unlockable mini-game on the successful completion of said puzzles. Junior Brain Trainer is aimed at children from ages 6 - 11 and according to the Avanquest website "takes a fresh and fun approach to learning by teaching kids in ‘bitesize’ chunks and then rewarding them with unlockable mini-games." To a certain degree the game meets expectations and does exactly what it says on the tin: there are games to improve memory, spelling, numeracy and problem-solving and a whole host of mini-games are waiting to be unlocked throughout the course of the game. The genre was made famous with the massive popularity of Nintendo's Dr.Kawashima's Brain Training and many games since have attempted to capitalize on this popularity. Junior Brain Trainer is a learning game in a similar vein to the slew of other "brain training"' games released for the Nintendo DS.
