Brain Nook  is a FREE "virtual world" that offers over 100 educational games for students based on fundamental math and English grammar concepts which are embedded in virtual worlds that the students can unlock and explore. The games are designed to also help students strengthen skills such as reading, reasoning, decision-making, analysis, memorization, dexterity, and computer literacy. Games are based on California State Board of Education standards for grades 1 through 5 (ages 6-10).

While free membership includes access to many areas of BrainNook, including a Parent Report Center where parents can track their child's progress, Premium Members get much wider access.

During account creation, a parent email address must be entered. The parent will receive an email with a link which must be clicked on to activate the account. A chat feature is available, but without free-form entry. Students with a free account may use only menu-based chat, selecting from a list of pre-approved chat phrases. Premium members can use a whitelist chat which allows them to access a preset list of safe words.

BrainNook @ School includes over 200 educational games and offers other features including student reporting.
