BRAIN GAME PROTOCOL

Welcome to the ultimate digital neural training ground. Below is the official manual detailing emoji-matching rules, competitive multiplayer duels, solo campaign vectors, and the science of working memory enhancement.

01 / Core Matching Rules

The Match Vector

Cards are distributed face down in a geometric grid. On your turn, you flip **two cards** to reveal their underlying emoji codes.

If the codes are identical, you lock the pair, gain XP, and **retain your turn** for another scan sequence.

The Flip Back

If the two selected cards do not match, they will be visually hidden again after a brief calibration delay.

In multiplayer duels, failing to match cards instantly passes active turn control to your competitor. Memorizing card coordinates during flip-backs is key.

02 / Game Modes

Solo Campaign Progression

Train your brain through **30 rigorous levels**. The campaign starts with simple 4x4 card configurations and scales to massive 8x8 matrices loaded with abstract glyph and emoji sets. Each level reduces your allowed time window and tests raw visual-spatial recall limiters under pressure.

Real-Time Multiplayer Duels

Challenge 2, 3, or 4 friends simultaneously. The multiplayer engine leverages real-time synchronization so that flips and score updates occur with zero latency. Compete for pairs, interrupt opponent combos, accumulate global XP, and push your ranking through Leagues from Bronze up to Ruby and Elite.

03 / Scientific Recall Advantages

Cognitive research indicates that regular practice of paired spatial retrieval directly exercises the **dorsolateral prefrontal cortex** (responsible for working memory visual processing) and the **hippocampus** (responsible for memory consolidation).

Visual Recall

Improves spatial positioning accuracy

Focus Lock

Increases attention span under stress

Processing Speed

Accelerates recognition time thresholds

04 / Protocol FAQ

Is Brain Game completely free to play?

Yes. Brain Game is a completely free browser-based memory training platform. There are no paid expansions, subscription fees, or annoying popups. It is optimized for both mobile phone browsers and desktop viewports.

How do invite codes work in multiplayer?

When you click '+ FRIENDS' and enter a room code, our background real-time network opens a secure connection channel. As long as your competitors share that identical 6-digit room code or accept your direct Social invitation, they will be dynamically loaded into your game room.

Will my game progress and high scores be saved?

Yes! We leverage bidirectional Cloud-to-Local synchronization. If you are signed in using our Clerk connection interface, your level statistics, earned XP, neural IQ ratings, and streaks are securely saved to our Supabase database. If playing as a guest, your stats are persisted in local browser storage and automatically merged once you sign up.

How is the Neural IQ score calculated?

Neural IQ is a dynamic metric calculated based on match accuracy (number of flips divided by actual pairs matched) weighted against the speed of completion and active level tier. Keep flips low and matching speeds high to elevate your IQ bracket!
