We have been conducting an office Tournament based around the Big Brain Academy game. The game features a number of very short puzzles to solve, not particularly difficult but it’s a game of speed. Participants go head to head to determine who can complete a set number of puzzles quicker, the winner moves on to the next round.

Here at Web Applications UK we had 24 fantastic Webbies sign up to put their mental acuity on the line to prove who has the Biggest Brain! If there was ever a competition to win…this is it.

All Webbies were given 2 weeks to practice and familiarise themselves with the format of the game. Judging from what I’ve seen, very few actually took advantage of that opportunity. That’s alright through, inexperience means upsets. Lauren, one of the frontrunners from Guitar Hero and classically good at video games, fell at the first hurdle to Vivienne. Shui, who had a long-standing record of winning absolutely everything, lost in the first round to Kris. Finally, Claire, winner of the most competitive person Webby Award, lost to Wah Yan. Predictability leads to boredom, and right now this is certainly anyone’s game.
