Brain Games is National Geographic’s Emmy-award winning documentary series that features interactive psychological experiments that encourages viewers to participate in a variety of “brain games” and test their visual and auditory attention, memory, and perceptual skills.

Brain Games initially aired in 2011 as a special and returned in 2013 as an original series. It averaged 1.5 million viewers over the broadcast of the first two episodes, setting a record for the highest premiere rating of any National Geographic original series (source).
