SYNOPSIS:
The purpose of this game show is to promote the use of brain exercises along with the intention to contribute to society. An hour of the prime-time show will consist of a variety of brain games, problem solving questions, and logic puzzles which will involve lateral, logical, and spatial thinking skills in the following categories-
Visual puzzles,
Mathematical problem solving,

I am a high school Mathematics teacher with 12 years of teaching experience in international curricula in India and USA. I have taught AP Calculus and now currently teaching IB Math HL and SL curriculum. Currently, I am teaching in India in an international school and also promoted for the position of head of the department for the coming academic session.
Since my childhood, I have been enjoying brain games and puzzles and when I do these activities with my family or students I observe great interest, enthusiasm, and excitement in their participation. This led me to the idea of creating a game show. I started this as an extracurricular activity in my school and realized that it has the potential to go big on international TV.
Not only it is fun, but using this platform I also want to spread awareness for the importance of brain exercises for better mental health and development of overall thinking skills in the young and adults. I feel that there is great need of promoting the mental exercises to produce more innovative generations. Using this TV game show, I also want to spread more awareness about helping underprivileged so I have added a factor of social service to the format of this show.
