About Peak – Brain Games & Training
Brain games and puzzles designed to sharpen your mind — Peak challenges memory, language, and critical thinking with scientifically-backed training that fits your life.
Developed in partnership with leading neuroscientists at Cambridge University, NYU, and other top institutions, Peak delivers cognitive training that actually works. With over 12 million downloads and selection as an Editor's Choice app, Peak has earned its reputation as a trusted brain training experience. The app covers nine core cognitive areas — memory, attention, math, problem solving, mental agility, language, coordination, creativity, and emotion control — so you can strengthen the skills that matter most to you.
Your brain training journey begins the moment you download. Just 10 minutes a day is enough to complete a full workout, making it simple to build a lasting habit. With 45 brain games available and fresh challenges added regularly, you'll never run out of new puzzles to solve. The app works offline too, so you can train your brain anywhere — no internet required.
Track your cognitive progress with precision using your personalized brainmap, which reveals which mental skills are your strengths and where you can improve. Compare your performance with friends to add a competitive spark to your training. Coach, your personal AI trainer, learns your patterns and guides you toward consistent improvement with tailored insights and recommendations.
Unlock deeper cognitive gains with Peak Pro, which delivers personalized brain training workouts and comprehensive performance analytics. Advanced Training modules offer intensive programs targeting specific skills — like the Wizard memory game, created with Professor Barbara Sahakian and Tom Piercy from Cambridge's Department of Psychiatry. These expert-designed programs take your mental training to the next level.
Every brain game in Peak reflects rigorous neuroscience research. The scientific advisory board, led by Professor Barbara Sahakian FMedSci DSc of Cambridge University, ensures that every puzzle, every challenge, and every training protocol aligns with cutting-edge cognitive science. Major publications including The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, and Techworld have praised Peak's thoughtful design and detailed performance feedback.
Whether you're looking to sharpen focus, strengthen memory, or simply keep your mind active, Peak – Brain Games & Training transforms daily brain training into an engaging, rewarding experience backed by world-class science.
