[Maura]

Square Enix is a new game from Square Enix and Barnstorm Games, marking a bit of a departure for the Final Fantasy giants. The new brain training game will be available on all major consoles, including the Wii, from July 27, in the UK, Scandinavia, and PAL regions. The game is packed with a series of fun and stimulating mini-games and challenges, and chock full of questions that have been endorsed by Mensa, the global high IQ society.

“Mensa Academy brings something unique to the brain training game market,” stated Roger Cheung, Head of Acquisitions, Square Enix Europe. “We have teamed up with Barnstorm Games to bring this title, developed in cooperation with Mensa, to market in the UK and PAL regions. Mensa Academy is the most credible game of its kind to date from the definitive experts in the field of measuring and fostering intelligence. The power of the mind is fascinating, the real challenge is how to best maximise its potential. Mensa Academy tangibly tackles this in a user-friendly way, whilst providing hours of entertainment.”

“We are delighted to be partnering with Square Enix for the release of our Mensa Academy title in the UK and PAL regions,” stated Simon Jeffrey, CEO of Barnstorm Games. “It was important for us to produce a product that exudes the authority of the Mensa brand, whilst providing a vibrant and entertaining environment in which players can train, take the test and challenge their friends.”

The game offers players the ability to determine and improve their score in Play, Coach and Test modes. Play mode challenges you to take on 100+ replayable levels in five disciplines - Numeracy, Language, Logic, Memory and Visual. Coach mode provides further training, and Test will give you your actual Mensa Academy score.
