Who's behind DailyBrainer

DailyBrainer started the way a lot of family tech does — as a problem in our own house. We're parents of elementary-school-age kids, and like most parents, we were uneasy about how much of our kids' screen time was pure consumption with nothing coming back the other way. We didn't want to ban screens; we wanted the time spent on them to count for something. So we built the game we wished existed: something a kid would choose to play, that also happened to be reinforcing the counting, vocabulary, and general knowledge they're building at school. That's still the test we hold every feature to — would our own kids ask to play this again tomorrow, and are we okay with the answer being yes.

Our philosophy is simple: games should do more than entertain. Every puzzle on DailyBrainer is designed to be both genuinely fun and genuinely nourishing — stretching your mind in ways that matter. Whether it's a 6-year-old counting on their fingers in 1st Grade NumRush, a teenager racing through Trivia Royale's Science and Health categories, or a parent brushing up on personal finance in Money & Finance, we believe the best brain game leaves you a little wiser than when you started.
