Every Body Has a Brain
Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

What’s It About?
The star of Every Body Has Brain is a girl named Phoebe Brainheart, who is practicing for her school dance competition. Players visit the four parts of Phoebe's brain, where they meet characters such as Sara Bellum, Sir Rebral Cortex, and Ms. Hippo, and learn through songs and games how the different parts of Phoebe's brain work together so that she can do different activities.
Is It Any Good?
EVERY BODY HAS A BRAIN presents a wealth of information about the brain in a fun and lighthearted package. Kids not only learn about the four parts of the brain, but they actually get a chance to exercise each part by playing specially tailored mini-games. One of the mini-games in the cerebral cortex (the part of the brain that controls creativity), for example, lets players compose rudimentary songs by dragging and dropping instruments onto a grid. Kids should learn a lot without even realizing it since they will be too busy having fun.
