12.2.3 Playing a Game

When you start each game, an opening song is played followed by instructions for playing. Press "Enter" to start the game or press space to repeat the instructions.

12.2.4 Memory game

When the game starts, a group of numbers and letters is announced.  For example, at level 1, groups of 3 letter-number combinations are spoken. Make sure to memorize these letters and numbers in the order they are spoken.
You are then prompted, "Type the answer", at which time you must write the numbers in the order they were given to you and press enter. If the answer is correct, The Braille Sense PLUS QWERTY applauds you, and you are allowed to proceed to the next set of letters and numbers. If the answer is incorrect or you take too long to enter the answer, the buzz of failure sounds and the game is over. You must type the answer within 10 seconds to avoid the despicable buzz and a constructive warning that you may be losing your mind. 
When the game is over, your score is announced. If your score ranks between 1 and 5, you are asked to "Type your ID". Write your name and press enter to record your score. (You can view your recorded scores under "View Ranking" in the Sense Brain Game menu. Or press "Escape" or "Alt-F4" to ignore this dialog.
Finally, you are asked, "Do you want to play again?" Press enter on "Yes" to play the game again. Or press enter on "No" to return to the game menu.

12.2.5 Reverse game

This game is similar to the memory game, but as its name denotes, in "reverse". When you are prompted to "Type the answer", write the numbers and letters in reverse order and press "Enter". If the answer is correct, you are applauded and honored with a new challenge. If the answer is incorrect or you're too slow, the buzz of shame sounds and the game is over. 

12.2.6 Chase a criminal

When the game starts, you hear the sound of footsteps. A thief is hidden in a 10-story building. A policeman says on which floor the thief is hiding. But, any smart thief won't stay in one place too long, and your job is to catch him. As the criminal runs up and down the stairs, the policeman says, "Up" and "down" repeatedly to let you know how many floors the criminal is traversing. Listen carefully and type the floor on which the thief has chosen to hide again. When you are asked to type the answer, type the number of the floor on which the thief stowed himself within 10 seconds. Be sure to think fast, or that droning buzz reminds you that your brain is failing and the patronizing policeman complains that you are interrupting his inspection.  

12.2.7 Multiplication table

When the game starts, you are given a set of numbers. Level 1 starts you off with two. Multiply these numbers. 
When you are prompted to, "Type the answer", type the result and press "Enter". If the answer is correct, your math genius continues to be challenged. If the answer is incorrect, or you take too long to enter it, the pretentious buzz is heard, and the Braille Sense PLUS QWERTY helpfully suggests you may wish to master the simplicity of addition before attempting the complexity of multiplication.
