About this game

Dual NBack – Brain Training to Improve Memory

Dual NBack is a fun and challenging brain game designed to strengthen your working memory. Set goals, get reminders, and climb the global leaderboards as you sharpen your mind!

What Is Dual NBack?

Dual NBack is a memory-training game that presents audio (letters) and visual (positions) sequences simultaneously. Research suggests that consistent play may enhance your working memory—the ability to hold and process information briefly—and also boost short-term recall.

How to Play

The game starts at Level N=2, where you need to remember the position (square) and the sound (letter) from two turns back.

If the current position or sound matches what was shown two turns ago, tap the corresponding button.

Strong performance automatically raises your level, but you can manually adjust the difficulty whenever you like.

Key Features

Customizable Settings

Tailor your training: tweak the N-value (number of turns to recall), the interval between sounds/blocks, and session length as you see fit.

Reminders & Goals

Set daily or weekly targets and enable notifications to help you practice consistently.

Global Leaderboards

Compare your scores with players worldwide and see how you rank as you improve.

Share Function

Post your results on social media or messaging apps to challenge your friends and family.

Multilingual Support

Currently offered in English and Japanese, with more languages on the way.

Why Train Your Working Memory?
Working memory stores information for a few seconds to minutes, enabling you to make decisions, perform calculations, or tackle other cognitive tasks. Playing Dual NBack regularly can help strengthen this mental capacity, potentially improving focus, concentration, and overall brain agility.

it's a very good app I think it's definitely helped me, I've used it for like about 6 months and I've noticed it's helped me focus more than anything else, and has helped me with math and remembering steps more effectively. ignore the negative studies that say this game doesn't work, if you keep training consistently you'll see progress (:

Please fix this game. It’s enjoyable, but there are still several bugs. For example, when I get a position wrong and it moves to the next one, I don’t have enough time to think before the red indicator appears on the button. It happens almost instantly on N=3 i find it fustrating, otherwise N=2 works fine

why is it that when I make a mistake the next turn it automatically lights up the correct answer(simultaneously to when the brick lights up and the letter is pronounced) instead of giving me a second(or at least a fraction of it) to think?
