Cortex Challenge 2: Kids is a board game released in 2017 for 2–6 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Nicolas Bourgoin and Johan Benvenuto.
Cortex Challenge 2: Kids tests up to six players’ memory, cognition, and sensory perception. It even includes texture cards that are used during "touch challenges" in which players must guess what they are feeling, adding a unique element that is often neglected in games. Players' brain powers are stretched to the max as they race to be the first to match symbols, correctly remember all objects on a card or find the route out of mazes, amongst many other tests!
Cortex Challenge 2: Kids supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Cortex Challenge 2: Kids is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Cortex Challenge 2: Kids for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
