The Mind Cup

Half an hour. Six challenges. One honest report.

Any day you like, from anywhere.

What you actually do

  • Split Signal

    Taking in several things at once, because you are told only afterwards which one mattered.

  • Second Look

    Not trusting the first answer your eyes hand you, and checking what actually changed.

  • Ledger

    Keeping a total in your head while the steps appear one at a time and vanish.

  • Terrain

    Remembering where things were after the whole picture turns.

  • Colour Hunt

    Sweeping everything you know for all the things that fit, not just the first one.

  • The Carry

    Holding something in mind for half an hour while five other games try to push it out.

The band comes from the age you type, never from a menu, so it cannot be picked wrong.

And then, the finale

Sat 12 September

The top of each age band is invited, free, to a judged final where education awards are decided by people in a room.

Your fee buys the sitting and the report. It does not buy a place there: the invitation is earned by playing, and it cannot be bought at any price. Awards are fixed and funded before entries open. They are never sized from what entries bring in.

What this is not. This is not an IQ test, not a diagnosis, and not a school assessment. It measures how one mind worked in one half hour, on one day. That is a real thing to know, and it is not the whole of anybody. We never sell or share a child's data, and we hold no more of it than the report needs.
