“GET READY TO BRAIN WARP!”
“GET READY TO BRAIN WARP!”
BRAIN WARP is six different games in one and can be played by 1 to 6 players.
QUICK DESCRIPTION OF THE GAMES
GAME 1-- COLORS (1- 6 players)
Player must react to verbal commands, rotating BRAIN WARP so that a particular color is in
the top position. Each command will be one of 6 colors: RED, YELLOW, PURPLE,
ORANGE, WHITE OR GREEN.
GAME 2 -- NUMBERS (1 - 6 players)
Same as Game 1, except that numbers 1 through 6 are used instead of the colors.
GAME 3 -- COMBO (1 - 6 players)
Same as Game 1, except that a combination of colors and numbers are intermixed, making
this game more difficult.

GAME 4 -- MEMORY MATCH (1 - 6 players)
In this game, a verbal command consists of a combination of colors and numbers given as
a group. The player must therefore remember the numbers and colors in the correct order
and then rotate BRAIN WARP into the positions commanded in the correct sequence.
GAME 5 -- CODE BUSTER (1 player only)
Instead of verbal commands, the player is required to discover a hidden sequence of
colors which is randomly selected by BRAIN WARP.
Trial and error rotation accompanied by positive and negative tones lead the player to
discover the sequence. The player has 60 seconds to “BREAK THE CODE”.
GAME 6 -- PASS ATTACK (2 - 6 players)
In this game, the players, in turn, create their own sequence of colors. Each player adds a
new color to the sequence and passes it on to the next player. Players must keep track of
the sequence as it is added to by each player, and must repeat everything all the other
players have done and then add one more color choice of his own. This continues until
each player is eliminated by a wrong move. The one remaining player wins the game.

DETAILS OF GAME PLAY
Games 1-4 consist of 3 rounds of play. BRAIN WARP will tell each player when to take
his turn and will keep track of individual scores. Individual and CUMULATIVE scores are
given for each player after each round. After the third round, in addition to announcing
the cumulative scores, BRAIN WARP will also announce the order of final scores indicating
which player placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
NOTE: At the end of any game, the scores will be repeated as many times as necessary if
the START/SELECT button is pressed within 5 seconds after the scores have been
announced.
In Games 1-3, players receive VERBAL COMMANDS to rotate BRAIN WARP to a particular
color or number at ever-increasing speeds. Each time BRAIN WARP is rotated to the
correct color or number, a “CONFIRMATION TONE” reinforces the correct move. Players
continue to play until a wrong move is made, either by selecting an incorrect color or
number or by not responding fast enough. A “razz” sound is given and player’s turn is
over.

5
When a VERBAL COMMAND is given, BRAIN WARP recognizes a correct input only from
the commanded color or number. The player has time between commands to quickly
select the correct color or number. If a player is not fast enough moving to the
commanded color or number he will be “razzed” out. In Games 1-3, the time between
commands will decrease making it harder to keep up! The shortest time between
commands is .7 seconds which will challenge even the fastest players.
“IF YOU DON’T KEEP UP WITH ME YOUR FINISHED!”
“IF YOU DON’T KEEP UP WITH ME YOUR FINISHED!”
Game 5 (CODE BUSTER) has an unlimited number of rounds. Each round is 60 seconds,
but in each new round, an additional color is added to the “secret code”. If the player
successfully breaks the code, he goes on to the next round. If a player does not break
the code, “HE’S FINISHED!” (GAME OVER).
Game 6 (PASS ATTACK) is one round with no time limit. When a player makes a mistake,
he is out of the game, but the other players keep on going until only one player is left!

FUNCTIONS OF START/SELECT BUTTON
1. To turn on the unit.
2. To confirm game selection.
3. To confirm number of players.
4. To begin each player’s turn in each round of
play.
5. To “fast start” (repeat) the same game over
again with the same number of players. (Press
button right after BRAIN WARP says,
“This game is finished” but before it
says: “Want to warp again?”)
6. To repeat your final scores, press the
START/SELECT button within 5
seconds after final scores are
announced.
7. To shut off the game at any time.
(Press and hold the button for 5 seconds
until BRAIN WARP says: “This game is
finished.”)

7
IMPORTANT: BRAIN WARP MUST BE HELD STRAIGHT UP FOR THE GAME SENSORS TO
“READ” YOUR SELECTIONS CORRECTLY! ALSO, YOU MUST ROTATE DIRECTLY FROM
SELECTION TO SELECTION—NOT DIAGONALLY OR THROUGH ANOTHER COLOR.
TO PLAY: Press the START/SELECT button to turn on BRAIN WARP. The unit will say,
“GET READY TO BRAIN WARP!” and will then instruct you to select
your choice of game.
Turn BRAIN WARP so that the game you select (1-6) is facing
straight up as in the illustration above. Then press the START/
SELECT button to confirm your game—and BRAIN WARP will
announce the game you selected.
Next, BRAIN WARP will ask for the number of players.
Again rotate BRAIN WARP so that your choice of number
of players is straight up.
Then press the START/SELECT button to confirm the
players—and BRAIN WARP will announce the number
players selected. BRAIN WARP will THEN tell the first
player to take his turn. The player will hear the
“CONFIRMATION TONE” whenever he makes a correct
move. A “RAZZ” tone will indicate that a move is incorrect.

GENERAL COMMENTS ON THE GAMES
In Games 1-4, an incorrect move simply ends a players turn in the round. In game 5, a
player has 60 seconds to “FIND THE CODE.” If the code is not found, game is over. In
game 6, an incorrect move means a player is eliminated from the game!
—In Games 1-4, a player completes his turn by successfully completing all commands in
the round or by “razzing” out (making a mistake).
—In Game 5, a player completes his turn by solving the code or by running out of time.
—In game 6, a player completes his turn by correctly repeating and adding to the
sequence or by “razzing” out (making a mistake).
After a player completes his turn, BRAIN WARP pauses. The next player must press the
START button in order to begin his turn.
Games 1 and 2are pretty easy. Players just have to respond to verbal commands of
COLORS OR NUMBERS.
Game 3 is harder because it’s a COMBINATION of colors and numbers.
Game 4 is even more difficult because it’s a GROUP of colors and numbers to remember
before obeying the command.

DETAILS OF GAMES 5 & 6
In GAME 5, the player is trying to break a secret color code in each round. There is only
60 seconds to break the code, the method of breaking the code is trial and error. BRAIN
WARP will tell the player what color to start on before play begins. The player selects the
next possible color and rotates BRAIN WARP to that color. Each time the player hears a
positive confirmation tone it means he has chosen the correct next color of the code. The
player then continues to select the next color, BUT WHEN THE “RAZZ” SOUND, IS HEARD,
THAT INDICATES AN INCORRECT COLOR AND THE PLAYER MUST START OVER AGAIN
FROM THE FIRST COLOR. The player must always go back to the start color whenever he
gets “razzed” and must rotate through the sequence of correct colors over again. If the
player “breaks the code” within 60 seconds, BRAIN WARP will announce” “You broke the
code” and the next round will begin with a new code.
If the player can’t break the code within the allotted 60 seconds, it’s a “GAME OVER”.
In game 6, BRAIN WARP will tell the player which color to start on.
The player must rotate BRAIN WARP to that color and then ADD ONE MORE COLOR to the
sequence. Starting from the original color, the next player has to repeat the pattern and
ADD STILL ONE MORE COLOR to the sequence. If a player cannot repeat the ever-
increasing sequence correctly, he is “razzed” out of the game! The last player left WINS!

“WANNA WARP AGAIN”
“WANNA WARP AGAIN”
As you’ve probably noted, BRAIN WARP likes to talk. When you begin play, he’ll tell you to
“GET READY TO BRAIN WARP!” When a game is completed, he’ll say “THIS GAME IS
FINISHED” and then ask you if you “WANNA WARP AGAIN?” If you press the START/
SELECT button within 5 seconds of him saying “THIS GAME IS FINISHED”, you can “quick
start” yourself into a repeat of the same game selection with the same number of players.
Also, BRAIN WARP will repeat the final scores within 5 seconds after scores are announced
if the START/SELECT button is pressed. This is important if conversation or other noises
cause the players to miss some of the score announcements.
To shut BRAIN WARP off, you can also press the START/SELECT button at any time and
hold if for 5 seconds until “THIS GAME IS FINISHED” is said. BRAIN WARP will shut off
automatically after three minutes of no action.

INSERTING THE BATTERIES
To insert/replace batteries, remove the battery compartment cover on the game as shown,
which is located in the # 6 spike. Have an adult unscrew the battery cover and remove.
Insert 4 “AA” batteries, UM-3 or equivalent making sure to align “+” and “-” as shown.
TO ENSURE PROPER FUNCTION:
• Do not mix old and new batteries
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon/zinc) or rechargeable
(nickel/cadmium) batteries.
• Battery insertion/replacement should
be done by an adult.
• Replacing the batteries will cause
your game to reset, losing all
previous scoring or stored
information.
