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.
