The main goal is to test your mental abilities in a number of categories and to find out your brain weight score. As you go through the activities, you can see where you are stronger and do more practice on the things you need to work on. The experience is built around learning, getting better and friendly competition, not following a fixed story. With each test, players get another chance to push their minds and improve their scores.
