MYQ is a brain training system. It will help boost your mental performance by exercising your gray matter. So get ready to flex those neurons and tone those synapses with the mini gym that fits right in the palm of your hand!

THE WORKOUT PROGRAM

Every day for 10 minutes, test yourself by playing MYQ. The theory is that, like a muscle, the brain benefits from exercise and stimulation. MYQ will track your progress for 30 days at a time, so you can see how much your mental agility improves. Check your progress daily, and try to beat your previous scores!

THE WORKOUT ROUTINE

The 10 games are specially designed to improve certain Brain Areas:

SUDOKU

THE GOAL: Place the correct numbers from 1 to 6 in each 6-space grid. There can be no more than one of each number in every column, row and grid.

THE TIME & POINTS: It’s a 4-minute game. Points are awarded for each properly-placed number.

THE PLAY: The flashing cursor indicates your position. Use the

ARROW buttons to move around the screen.

CLUE numbers are fixed and appear in the shaded blocks.

Enter numbers in the unshaded blocks. To do this, move the cursor to the block you wish to fill, press , then press the

NUMBER button of your choice. Press the ARROW buttons to move to a new target block and continue to enter numbers.

To delete a number, move the cursor to its block and press

X. Then press and the NUMBER button of your choice to replace it.

Solving a puzzle:

If you complete a whole screen correctly, a big check mark appears. Then a new puzzle starts. When time’s up, see the END OF GAME screen with your scores.

PYRAMATH

THE GOAL: Use mental math to calculate and input the (?) at the top of the pyramid from the symbols and numbers below it.

THE TIME & POINTS: It’s a 2 -minute game.

Points are awarded for how many correct answers you make.

THE PLAY: There are 2 important points to remember:

1) The math symbol (

x, +, -

) above a pair of numbers tells you which math process (add, subtract, multiply) you should use to answer a “?”.

2) Check the top of the pyramid first. If the “?” at the top is the only “?”, you only need to calculate the answer in the pyramid. If there are more “?”s below the top one, you’ll need to start your calculations in the bottom bar. See the examples below.

42 + 4 = 46

14 - 3 = 11

2 x 7 = 14

In this example there’s only one “?”, so just calculate the 42 + 4 mentally in the pyramid.

Press the NUMBER buttons on the keypad to input the answers. Make a mistake? No problem! Press X to delete it.

Enter a new number, then press to lock it in.

Solving a puzzle:

A big check mark appears for correct answers; a flashing screen for incorrect ones. In either case a new puzzle comes up. When time’s up, see the END OF

GAME screen with your scores.

HANGMAN

THE GOAL: Guess as many words as you can correctly before the entire Hangman appears on the screen.

THE TIME & POINTS: It’s a 2-minute game. Points are awarded for each word guessed properly.

THE PLAY: The word to be guessed is missing letters, shown by a dash or dashes. The correct letters must be placed in the dashes.

Choose a letter to guess by pressing the up or down ARROW buttons to scroll through the alphabet. Press to select your letter. Correctly guessed letters appear in the word to complete it. Incorrect guesses build a part of the Hangman.

The list of incorrectly guessed letters is tracked in the gray panel. If you guess a letter that already appears in the word, it will also appear in the gray panel, but in a white square.

And it won’t count against you.

Solving a puzzle:

A big check mark appears when you correctly guess a word. Then a new Hangman puzzle starts.

If the word is not guessed within 2 minutes, a new puzzle will begin. When time’s up, see the END OF GAME screen with your scores.

RECALL GAMES

In this example there are two “?”s, so you must mentally calculate from the bottom up!

DIAL-A-PHONE

THE GOAL: To remember the missing numbers in a 7-digit phone number.

THE TIME & POINTS: It’s a 2 1 / 2 -minute game.

Points are awarded for each phone number you remember correctly.

Made an error? Easy fix! Just press X to delete it and press another number button to replace it. IMPORTANT: Once the last number is entered, no changes can be made.

If you complete a phone number correctly, you’ll see a big check mark and hear a ring tone; if you made an error, you’ll get a busy tone. In either case, a new number will appear on the screen. When time’s up, see the END OF GAME screen with your scores.

The

If you correctly repeat a sequence, a big check mark appears; if you’re not correct, the screen flashes. In either case, a new sequence appears. When time’s up, see the END OF GAME screen with your scores.

OPTIX

THE GOAL: Identify each new symbol that appears on the screen.

THE LIVES & POINTS: There’s no ticking clock in this game. You have 3 Lives (shown in the bottom bar), and the game ends after you’ve lost them all. Points are awarded for the largest number of correct responses in a row.

THE PLAY: Watch the screen carefully as each new symbol appears. It starts out easy with just one, but correctly identified symbols remain on the screen, so the pattern builds steadily with each correct response.

Move the square around the screen by pressing the ARROW buttons. Once the cursor is on top of the new symbol, select it by pressing . If your response is correct, the screen changes and adds a new symbol for you to identify; if you’re incorrect, the screen flashes, a new sequence begins, and you lose a Life. The bar at the bottom tracks your Lives with

+

signs. When you make 3 incorrect responses, your 3rd Life is over and the END OF GAME screen appears with your scores.

Scoring: Try to complete as many mazes as you can before time runs out. Remember, you are awarded points for the distance your ball travels. Finishing more mazes means winning more points. When time’s up, the END OF GAME screen appears with your scores.

SHAPE MATCH

THE GOAL: Direct the falling shapes to their matching shapes below.

THE TIME & POINTS: It’s a 2-minute game. Points are awarded for the number of correct matches.

THE PLAY: No buttons to push because of the innovative TILT SENSOR technology. Just tilt the game left or right to line up each shape as it falls. Then tilt down (but not too far) to speed the shape to its match.

Keep guiding the falling shapes to meet their matches. A big check mark appears each time you get a match; if you make an error, the screen will flash. Keep playing until time runs out and the END OF GAME screen appears with your scores.

AVOIDING

THE GOAL: Avoid falling bars that come at you from all sides by using the Tilt Sensors.

THE LIVES & POINTS: You have 3 Lives in this game of dodge’em. The longer you avoid getting hit, the more points you’ll score. No ticking clock.

The game is over when you lose your third Life.

THE PLAY: No buttons to press in this game because of the

TILT SENSOR technology. Tilt the game up, down, left and right to keep your ball from getting hit by the bars.

Reverse play: The longer you avoid the bars, the more bars will appear. If you survive long enough, the game will enter a challenging reverse play skill level for a limited time, where you must tilt the game in the opposite direction from the one you want to move in.

Scoring: When you lose a Life, the screen will flash. Play continues as above, as you dodge the bars to stay alive. The longer you survive, the more points you’ll score. After you lose your 3rd Life the game is over, and the END OF GAME screen appears with your scores.

CREATIVITY ACTIVITY

SPATIAL GAMES

TILT-A-MAZE

THE GOAL: Guide a ball through as many mazes as you can by using Tilt Sensors.

THE TIME & POINTS: It’s a 2-minute game. Points are awarded for the distance your ball travels through the mazes.

THE PLAY: No buttons to press in this game because of the

TILT SENSOR technology. Tilt the game up, down, left and right to guide your ball through the maze and to an exit.

In the tilt sensor games you may use the ARROW buttons rather than tilting the game if you prefer; but they’re all meant to be played by tilting.

Reverse tilt: After you complete the first maze, the game will enter a challenging reverse tilt. In this alternate universe, black is white, up is down and left is right, so you must tilt the unit in the opposite direction you want the ball to move in. The screens alternate between regular play and reverse play.

BRAIN DUMP

THE GOAL: Try to think up as many creative uses for an object as you can.

THE TIME: It’s a 2-minute activity. The purpose of this exercise is to train your brain to think creatively rather than logically. No points are awarded, so

BRAIN DUMP does not affect your score. Judge your own output, then try to beat your count each time you play.

THE PLAY: When the question “How many uses can you think of for a…” appears on the screen, get ready to “text in” your answers using the letter keys on the keypad. It’s like entering a text message on a cell phone. Don’t worry about spelling, but your entries should have 3 letters or more.

For example, if the object is STONE, you may think of a statue, a doorstop, a paper weight, a hopscotch marker, and more. Enter each answer by pressing the LETTER buttons. To leave a space, press “0.” To delete a letter, press X. Be sure to lock in your answer by pressing the button after every entry. When you do this, MYQ will automatically keep track of your “uses.”

GOOD ANSWER/BAD ANSWER: You’re the judge, but try to give as many valid answers as you can.
