Frequently asked questions

Shoorbaloo is a brain-training game packed with science-minded mini-games that challenge your memory, attention, speed, flexibility, problem-solving, and math. Along the way you collect a cast of playful octopus characters and train a little every day in a way that actually feels fun.

Yes. Shoorbaloo is free to download and play, with a generous set of games available at no cost. Optional in-app purchases — like virtual currency and extra content — are available if you want to go further, but they’re never required to enjoy the game.

Shorbs and diamonds are in-game currencies. You earn Shorbs by playing and completing challenges, and you can use them to unlock characters and items. Diamonds are a premium currency that can be earned in-game or purchased. Both are virtual goods with no real-world value and can only be used inside the app.

In multiplayer, you go head-to-head with friends or other players in real-time brain challenges. Each match pits you against an opponent across a set of mini-games, and the higher score wins. Win matches to climb the leaderboard and show off your skills.
