Braingames is an American educational animated television series that originally aired on HBO beginning March 9, 1983. Created by Sheila Nevins and produced through Eliot Noyes Productions, the show’s format consists of brain-teasing animated skits and puzzles designed to actively engage viewers in logic, perception, memory, and problem-solving challenges. This early cable series blends traditional cel animation, stop-motion, and visual riddles to encourage interactive thinking.
Episode 0 – “Pilot” premiered on HBO on March 9, 1983 and served as the first test installment of the series. It features a collection of interactive segments such as “Aliens,” “Faces,” “Earplay,” “Odd Card Out,” “Mysteriosos,” “Between the Lines,” and “Lloofbat” — each offering a different type of perceptual or logical puzzle that invites viewers to solve before the answer is revealed. The pilot laid the foundation for the later episodes that aired from 1984 to 1985 and established Braingames’ signature blend of humor, clever visuals, and audience participation.
