Brain School
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
What is this game?
In Brain School you have to discover a code, which is made up of cards. The cards used are from a standard 52 card deck.
You find the code by asking questions such as
- "Where is the card with the lowest value?"
- "What is the sum of all the spades cards?"
Asking questions cost 'clues', which you have a limited amount of.
Once you find the code you can transform the remaining clues into new rules for the next rounds.
The questions will rarely give you a direct answer to one of the cards, instead you will need your logic and deduction skills to figure out what each card is.
The next round will have more cards in the code, so it will be more difficult to find the code. Reach and solve the final round to win!
Features
- Multiple levels/game modes with different mechanics
- 5-7 rounds per game
- ~1 hour per game depending on the size of your brain
- ~30 different rules to get that modify your run, making each run different
- A tutorial that holds your hand like a baby and explains the game (you can skip the tutorial if you want)

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Very clever game. My small complaint is that I wish when you were viewing the history, that it would outline cards in blue and yellow that would have blue and yellow card backs (when you have the relevant items). It's a pain to scan all the cards once you get into the later rounds when you have lots of cards in your history (ex. in extra credit 5 I just didn't bother thinking about the yellow and blue anymore... it fried my brain too much haha).
Oh and the other minor thing is that in English I feel like most people usually call the suit "clubs" instead of "clover" (though I know the suit is called clover in some other languages).
One more note... it wasn't clear to me with scotch tape whether there would be two queens if there are two kings.
nice
As a big fan of brain games (like Killer Sudoku) and Sokpop, I absolutely looooooved this game 😍
I have two questions:
1) I’d love to help translate the game into Brazilian Portuguese, would that be possible?
2) Is there any chance of an Android build? Even if it's just released here on itch.io. I think it's better to play this game on a tablet/phone than sitting at a desk xD
Thank you so much!!! That is very nice to hear <3
There is no localization planned sadly for the game. I don't really have the time right now to implement it.
Same goes for an Android build, sorry!
No worries! Thanks so much for replying ☺️
Damn this looks so awesome i wish i wasn't poor :(
you know what fuck it im going to make a recreation of this game based off of the description for personal use.
I figure it'd be rather unlikely, but is there perhaps any interest in a mobile port? Specifically Android? It felt like the kind of game I'd really enjoy playing on the go.
Sadly no, sorry!
Was this game made with Godot?
no, with gamemaker!
do you still use 1.4? There's not many of us left now
I just had a round where I had 3 letter cards but it told me there were 4...
ah do you have a screenshot?
I think it was from this play
but unfortunetly I didn't take an after photo.
25 points in 4 should be AAJQ right? But then how can #2 not be an A if theres only two ==? I think it ended up being AQQ but I don't remember now. I hope my math is right. I assume Joker is not a letter card?
Maybe the letter card was negative and I just messed up and counted wrong? Without the final photo it's impossible to say.
Joker is also a letter card!
why does it always say savefile version outdated and then return me to the menu when I try to continue a game?
Hey! Thanks for fixing it ♥
