A Sudoku puzzle grid occupies the center-left of the DS screen, displaying a partially completed nine-by-nine number puzzle with yellow highlighting marking the current selection. To the upper left, a portrait of an older man with glasses appears beside instructional text reading "Third eye? 3×3 box must contain only one of each number 1 to 9." The right side features yellow and green menu buttons labeled "Back" and another option. The grid uses a standard Sudoku layout with thick borders dividing three-by-three sections and thin lines separating individual cells.

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! is an action-puzzle game developed by Nintendo SPD and released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS. Players use the stylus to complete a series of brain-training exercises, including mental arithmetic, Sudoku puzzles, and memory challenges. The game features Dr. Kawashima, who evaluates the player's brain age based on performance. Each session consists of quick mini-games lasting a few minutes, designed to test concentration, calculation speed, and memory retention. The game tracks progress over time, comparing the player's performance against a baseline brain age. Controls rely primarily on touchscreen input, with players writing answers directly on the screen using the stylus. Difficulty gradually increases as players improve, with new exercises unlocking as they progress.
