Kobadoo Flags

Brain training with world flags

Kobadoo Flags turns brain training into one clear task. You memorize flags from countries around the world in the correct order and then select them in that same order. Getting the sequence right is the entire challenge, so the game is really a test of focus and recall. Remembering which flags appeared is not enough on its own; the game asks for them in the right sequence, so you have to hold both the flags and their order in mind at the same time.

How to play on desktop and mobile

The game is set up for both computers and mobile devices. On a desktop, you pick the flags with your mouse. On a mobile device, you tap them on the touch screen instead. Whichever you use, the rule stays the same: the flags have to be selected in the correct order. That makes it easy to pick up wherever you are, whether you sit at a computer or hold a phone.

Working memory at the center

According to its description, playing Kobadoo Flags means actively using your working memory. The developer also points to several scientific studies that suggest training working memory can have beneficial effects and may improve cognitive functions. That is the developer’s claim rather than a promise from us, but it explains why the whole game is built around memorizing sequences.

A fit for the learning shelf

Kobadoo Flags sits on our learning shelf, a good match for anyone who wants a memory workout built on flags from every corner of the world. It is a game from kobadoo, and its idea fits in a single sentence: remember the order, then repeat it.
