Read the full game description

Brain Freeze is a cool new kids strategy game of secret sweet treats that helps develop important mental skills through exciting back-and-forth game play! In Brain Freeze, two players or teams race to correctly guess the secret sweet treat that the other player or team has chosen. The kid-friendly symbols include Ice Cream Sandwich, Milkshake, Ice Cream Cone, Popsicle, and Snow Cone. Using only strategic thinking, deduction, memory and logic, players make guesses, record answers, and eliminate variables until they feel they can correctly guess the opponent's secret sweet treat. Guess right and Win, but guess wrong and...you got a Brain Freeze! Brain Freeze is based on the award-winning gameplay of the Telepathy board game (Parent's Choice Foundation Recommended Seal and National Parenting Center Seal of Approval). Brain Freeze is an ideal game to introduce strategy, logic and deduction to younger kids in a fun manner they'll enjoy, making the process of learning important skills they'll benefit from in school and life a blast! And with a minimal amount of pieces required, Brain Freeze is fast to set-up, easy to learn, and always provides a fun mental challenge for hours and hours of play that never gets old.
