Video Games: Big Brain Wolf


Okay, here's a video game I'm tempted to download because these are my preferred type of games--I've actually played Big Brain Academy and My Word Coach on the Wii more than any other console games in my life--so perhaps at some point I will get this to play. I like brain teasers and puzzle and logic games.

Puzzle game Big Brain Wolf takes the 'bad' out of the Red Riding Hood story by Nellie Johnson

The game is mainly a wink-wink nudge-nudge version of the Red Riding Hood story but throws in other familiar fairy tale characters like the seven dwarves and the three little pigs for good measure. In this fractured fairy tale, the Big Bad Wolf isn't bad at all—in fact, he hates eating people and if he had his way, would sit around all day playing chess and eating boca burgers.

Against his will, he's pulled into an adventure through the course of which, he'll (read: “you'll”) have to solve over sixty puzzles and engage in six brain-training exercises. Get those brain cells ready because the exercises in BBW (which are designed to sharpen specific brain functions) were designed in collaboration with the neuroscientists of Brain Center International, who are responsible for the famous NeuroActive Program.

Big Brain Wolf Now Available on Steam: Geeky, vegetarian wolf stars in a puzzle-filled point and click adventure.

With a cast of familiar characters, including Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs, and the Seven Dwarves, Big Brain Wolf gives a modern twist to all of your favorite tales!

A classic point and click adventure, Big Brain Wolf takes players through a fantastical world as a not so big, not so bad asthmatic vegetarian wolf studying to become a genie. This humorous tale has players solving sixty unique puzzles while trying to untangle a sordid murder mystery. To add another layer to the game, Frima Studio teamed up with the neuroscientists of Brain Center International to develop six fun brain training exercises for Big Brain Wolf. Completing these exercises will grant players useful hints to help them solve the game's hardest puzzles while also sharpening essential mental functions like memory, processing speed, decision making, and multitasking.



Big Brain Wolf is available now on Steam for $9.99. A downloadable trial is also available at Big Brain Wolf's official website.

And note that Little Red Riding Hood is in another video game. She really is the queen of the video game world when it comes to fairy tales.

No sales affiliations on this game folks, just news. There rarely are affiliations unless there are Amazon links. If I buy and try it out, I will post about it again.

  1. Even if the rest was not captivating (which it is), this description alone would have me: "The player takes upon the role of an asthmatic vegetarian wolf studying to become a genie."
