Brain Warp is an electronic audio game developed by Big Monster Toys, and was made by Tiger Electronics and released on June 16, 1996.〔(Brain Warp Trademark )〕 Players follow the spoken instructions of the game unit by choosing the correct number or color. Its catchphrase which the voice says before a game begins is: "If you don't keep up with me, you're finished!". A Star Wars version titled Death Star Escape was released by Tiger Electronics in 1997 and the games are called Challenges.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rlc_c1-JkM YouTube Demonstration Video of Death Star Escape〕 The spherical unit has six colored knobs - purple, red, green, white, orange and yellow - with numbers on them, and a blue base. A second version was released in 2002 with a translucent black base. The voice calls out a color, a number, or both, depending on the game selected, and the player flips the unit so that the correct knob is facing upwards. After every four points, the game becomes faster. If the player responds incorrectly, the round is ended and the unit will make a raspberry sound. There are six games in total - three where the player has to follow the command, one memory game that uses a combination of colors and numbers, a code buster game and a game called Pass Attack where players have to make up their own pattern. When the game has finished, the voice will say "This game...is finished." After a pause the game will encourage the player to play the game again by saying "Wanna warp again?" 〔(Brain Warp | Board Game ). BoardGameGeek.

In Brain Warp and Brain Shift, the player can select one of the six games. The list below will detail the difference between the standard Brain Warp games and the Star Wars Death Star Escape challenges. :Game One: Colors - The voice calls out colors and the player has to flip the unit to get the correct color to face upwards before time expires. In the Star Wars version, Challenge One is called Meltdown. The player has 30 seconds to see how many times the player can repeat the sequence. There are three rounds. Each round adds an extra Star Wars character. :Game Two: Numbers - Same as Game One, but the numbers on the unit are used. Challenge Two in the Star Wars version is called Prove Yourself. In this game, each player is given a Star Wars character, and a random player is selected to complete the sequence. :Game Three: Combo - The unit can command either colors or numbers. Same as Game One. Challenge Three in the Star Wars version is called Blow Up. It is very similar to the Code Buster in Brain Warp, but the same number of points are earned for each code that has been found. e.g: Round 1 is worth 5 points. Player finds the 5 number code. Round 2 is for 6 points etc. :Game Four: Memory Match - The unit calls a sequences of colors and/or numbers, and the player has to do all of them in the correct order. In the Star Wars version, Challenge Four is called Chain Reaction. It is identical to the Pass Attack game in Brain Warp. :Game Five: Code Buster - Through trial and error, players have to find the secret code of 5 or more colors within 60 seconds. The unit always orally gives the first code. Challenge Five in the Star Wars Brain Warp is called Names. It is very similar to Colors in Brain Warp but there are no rounds and the player can score up to 99 points. :Game Six: Pass Attack - Players create their own sequence of colors up to a maximum of 30. Each player has to complete the entire sequence before adding a color of their choice. A mistake or failure to add a new color eliminates a player. In the Star Wars version, Challenge Six is called Names and Numbers. It is very similar to Combo in Brain Warp but there are no rounds and the player can score up to 99 points. The game was the most popular in Duracell's Kids' Choice National Toy Survey in 1996. There has been some models that were manufactured incorrectly and results in some audio recordings leaving a gap. Also one notable thing is the music and the sound effects are not in tune. Units like these can cause problems with the sensors and when trying to select game three, four five and six, an error noise will sound as the game thinks that the player isn't holding the knob correctly. The game also features a hidden test mode. If the user attaches the yellow knob facing the purple knob and presses the yellow button, the game will enter a test mode menu where the player can test every function and hear every sound from the game. ==Catchphrases== Each Tiger Electronics brain game has several catchphrases including: ''Standard Brain Warp'' *"Get ready to play Brain Warp.
