Stimulate your spatial perception with this game
Penguin Explorer is a great way to challenge your planning, spatial perception, and inhibition skills. The main objective is to slide the penguin to clear the snow whilst avoiding obstacles.
This game has been designed to stimulate our spatial perception. It is suitable for all ages and its design makes it especially attractive for children 7 years old and up. Penguin Explorer is the perfect game to stimulate the mind and help strengthen cognitive skills.
Mind games like CogniFit's Penguin Explorer allow us to train our planning skills and help stimulate cognitive abilities through neuroplasticity.
The aim of the game is to clear the snow from the map as fast as possible by sliding the penguin and dodging obstacles along the way.
As you level up, the complexity of the map will increase and time becomes an important variable.
You must try to plan your moves as fast as possible to clear the snow from the whole map.
Why are games like "Penguin Explorer" so popular? - History
The Penguin Explorer game is based on problem-solving games, more specifically, maze-like puzzles. These games date back to the 1980s, where the user was required to explore the maze in a specific amount of time while escaping from monsters or dodging obstacles.
CogniFit's designers decided to give a twist to these games from the '80s, and create a game where the user trains the same skills as the original games, such as spatial perception, but also include inhibition and planning when clearing the snow from the map.
How does the "Penguin Explorer" mind game improve my cognitive skills?
Playing games like CogniFit's Penguin Explorer stimulates a specific neural activation pattern. Repeatedly playing and consistently training this pattern helps neural circuits reorganize and recover weakened or damaged cognitive functions.
Consistently stimulating our skills can help create new synapses, and help neural circuits reorganize and improve cognitive functions. The Penguin Explorer game seeks to stimulate skills related to spatial planning and perception.

What happens when I don't train my cognitive abilities?
Our brain tends to save resources by eliminating unused connections. If a cognitive skill is not normally used, the brain does not provide resources for that neuronal activation pattern, so it becomes weaker and weaker. If we do not train that cognitive function, we become less efficient in our day-to-day activities.
