The Brain's Brain Game is an online game that can be found on the PBS Kids website. It was made to celebrate the 100th episode of Arthur.

Gameplay

The Brain will ask a trivia question, and the player can choose one of three characters as an answer. Most trivia questions are based on a specific episode. Whether or not the player gets the question right, they will be shown the answer and be given a new question. The game goes on for as long as the player wants.

The game used to have a hint feature, where the page would scroll down to the bottom of the page, where there would Brain saying something to help the player find the right answer. The hints were character-specific: for example, if Muffy was the correct answer, the hint would be "She's the richest kid in school." This feature was removed sometime in October 2011, when the Arthur section on PBS Kids got renovated.
