BrinquimShapes Free
Two games in one: shapes or colors. The app says what to look for ("Find it!") and the child taps the right shape or color.
Practices: names of shapes and colors
The app's purple area · 14 games
Logic, memory and focus games for kids
Puzzles & Thinking is Brinquim's biggest area: matching pairs, patterns, sequences, odd one out, mazes, connect the dots, spot the difference and a set of animal games. 14 games for thinking, noticing and focusing, with no timer that makes a child lose.
Shapes, Pairs and Animals are free forever. The other 11 are part of Premium, and each can be tried free for 5 minutes.
The 14 logic and focus games
On the home screen they appear in purple, from gentlest to most challenging. To make this page easier to read, we split them into three groups.
Pairs, patterns and reasoning
Pairs Free
The classic concentration game: flip two cards and look for pairs. Every match stays face up and says its word in English and Portuguese, so the game also builds vocabulary.
Practices: memory, vocabulary in both languages
Patterns Premium · 5-min free try
A repeating row of shapes or colors with the last one missing: what comes next?
Practices: spotting and continuing patterns
Odd One Out Premium · 5-min free try
A grid of identical tiles with one impostor. The child taps the one that's different.
Practices: attention to detail, visual discrimination
Sorting Premium · 5-min free try
Drag each thing into the right bin: animals, food, vehicles, nature, clothes, sports, music. A wrong bin flashes and the item springs back, and the child can try another bin right away.
Practices: categories, classification
Repeat After Me Premium · 5-min free try
Four pads play a pattern of sounds and colors and the child plays it back. Each round the pattern grows by one note. A slip isn't game over: the same pattern plays again.
Practices: sequence memory, listening
Bounce Premium · 5-min free try
Balls bouncing to different heights, all in the same rhythm; the child taps the highest (or the lowest). From 2 to 5 balls, from warm-up to hard.
Practices: visual comparison, high and low
Focus and coordination
Spot the Difference Premium · 5-min free try
Two pictures on the same grid with a few cells swapped. The top one is the reference; the child taps the changes in the bottom one. Every difference is a swap, never a blank, so it's a real puzzle.
Practices: observation, attention to detail
Puzzles Premium · 5-min free try
A picture cut into tiles and scrambled. To swap two pieces the child taps one and then the other, no dragging needed, which is easier for small hands and works with a screen reader.
Practices: visual perception, planning
Maze Premium · 5-min free try
Drag a finger from the green start, along the open corridor, to the star. Going back is allowed: just drag back along the trail.
Practices: planning, motor coordination
Connect Dots Premium · 5-min free try
Tap the numbered dots in order and a picture appears. Taps count near a dot, not only right on it, so aiming slips don't get in the way.
Practices: number order, coordination
Animals and nature
Animals Free
Two modes: explore, tapping an animal to hear its name, and a quiz where the child hears a name and finds the animal.
Practices: vocabulary, listening
Animal Sounds Premium · 5-min free try
The narrator says an animal's noise ("Moo!") and the child taps the animal that makes it.
Practices: matching sounds, listening
Where Do They Live? Premium · 5-min free try
Drag each animal to the place it lives. Tapping a habitat also works instead of dragging, which helps kids using a screen reader, switch access, or with less steady hands.
Practices: habitats, classification
For numbers, see the number games; for coloring and music, the coloring, drawing and piano games.
No rush and no "game over"
In Brinquim's logic games, mistakes are part of it. A wrong answer just plays a soft sound; the child loses neither points nor the game. In Repeat After Me the same pattern plays again; in Sorting the item springs back to try another bin; in Maze you can go back along the trail. That lets kids experiment, which is exactly how problem solving is learned.
Difficulty follows the three age levels (up to 4, 5 and 6 and up) and keeps adjusting as your child plays. In several games kids also choose a level on the entry screen, as in Bounce, with 2 to 5 balls.
Play together or against a friend
Brinquim has duels with a friend on the same device or on two devices in the same room, with no internet (on Android, from Android 13). Pairs and focus games get even more fun in pairs, and the daily challenge gives a reason to come back tomorrow.
Tips for parents
- Start with the free ones. Shapes, Pairs and Animals show how your child takes to focus games before any subscription.
- Ask how they figured it out. "How did you find the odd one?" helps kids put their reasoning into words.
- Take the game off the screen. Sort toys by color, make a row of spoons and forks and ask what comes next, look for differences between two drawings.
- Use the time limit. In the parent area you set daily screen time and bedtime; when time's up, only a grown-up can add more.
Designed with neurodivergent kids in mind
Brinquim's focus games avoid what usually gets in the way: no ads, no loud losing sounds and no surprise pop-ups. Instructions are spoken, touch targets are large and several games accept tapping instead of dragging. Each area has a fixed color, which keeps navigation predictable.
Brinquim is an educational games app, not a treatment. It is not a medical device and does not replace therapy or care from health and education professionals. If your child works with a care team, tell them about the app: they can suggest which games fit your child's goals.
Frequently asked questions
Is Brinquim's Pairs game free?
Yes. Pairs, Shapes and Animals are among the 8 games that are free forever. The other 11 games in this area are part of Brinquim Premium, and each can be tried free for 5 minutes.
Do the games have a countdown?
No timer ever makes a child lose. Round time only adds a star bonus for quick answers, and mistakes never cost points. If you prefer, turn on "No timers" in the child's profile in the parent settings: the clock disappears from the screen.
Does it need the internet?
No. Games work offline, including duels on two devices in the same room. The internet is only used to subscribe to or restore Premium and, on iPhone, for iCloud sync if it's on.
