General Introduction
Welcome to BrainArk, a science-based, game-style training app that builds three core learning skills: memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility . This guide will walk you through sign-in, the home screen, training modes, chapters, scores, and common troubleshooting

Memory: short-term and working memory through visual, auditory, and spatial tasks.

Chapter Mechanics (What You’ll Do)

Core Challenge: memorize digits
Answer: tap numbered bricks in forward or reverse order
- Example sequence: 3, 6, 8
Forward: 3 → 6 → 8
Reverse: 8 → 6 → 3
Core Challenge: memorize fruits (shapes and colors)
Answer: tap fruits in the requested order to toss into jars
- Example: Apple, Watermelon, Strawberry, Banana

Core Challenge: memorize the order of ice floes and the sea creatures on each
Answer: drag each creature onto its matching ice floe in the requested order
Core Challenge: memorize the alphabetics on the previous pillars and match the current one to the previous one if they have the same alphabetics
Answer: watch letters on columns. When two yellow-lit columns show the same letter, press Confirm. If they differ, wait.

Multitask add-on: watch the top timing bar. When the cat paw enters the yellow zone, press the blue Jump button. Hits or misses won’t change MeowSprout’s path, and they only score the multitask.
