# Apple Watch Games for Five Minutes: All 11 Brain Boost Games Ranked by Round Length

With five minutes free, you can play any of WatchieBesti's eleven Brain Boost games, and fit in more than one. Five run on a clock: Spot School Pet gives you a few seconds per round, Dreaming Artist 20 seconds per shape on Easy, Treasure Tumbler starts at 25 seconds, Besti Bounce lasts 30 to 60, and Besti Tunes plays a song of about 17 or 34 seconds. The other six have no clock. Sprite Sequence has the least to do. Besti Break has the most.

## How this ranking works

![](/assets/images/blog/robot_baby_happy_gold_f01.png)Every number below comes from the game's own settings for Easy, Medium and Hard. Timed games are placed by their clock. Untimed games are placed by how much you have to get through, since their length depends on how fast you play. A mistake can end any round early, so these are the longest a winning round takes, not the shortest.

## The eleven games, shortest first

[1. Sprite Sequence](/brain-boost/sprite-sequence/)No clock

[2. Odd One Out](/brain-boost/odd-one-out/)No clock

[3. Spot School Pet](/brain-boost/spot-the-pet/)Per round

[9. Ember Hunt](/brain-boost/pet-sweep/)No clock

[11. Besti Break](/brain-boost/besti-break/)No clock
ShortestQuick mode: 3 rows, one hit per brickLongestFull mode: 7 rows, some bricks need several hits

A few rules change how long a round runs. One wrong tap ends Ember Hunt on the spot. In Treasure Tumbler a wrong tap costs 2.5 to 5 seconds, and a Clean Crack wins 2.5 back. Besti Bounce and Besti Tunes always run the full clock or song when you win, and Squiggle lets you keep playing past its target for a personal best.

## Picking one

- Under a minute: anything from Sprite Sequence to Besti Bounce, on any difficulty.
- A known finish time: Besti Bounce or Besti Tunes. A winning round lasts exactly as long as the timer or the song.
- The full five minutes: Besti Break in Full mode, or Squiggle past its target.
- Something calm: Squiggle on Easy. The edges wrap around, so there are no walls to hit.

Win a game while your pet doesn't already have a Brain Burst active and it earns one. You can feed it to your pet for growth or convert it to Sparks. [How Brain Bursts work](/bursts/brain-burst/) covers the details, and a Brain Burst can help [an egg hatch a little sooner](/blog/hatch-speed/).

All eleven games run on the watch, alongside [WatchieBesti, the watch pet](/) that grows when you move. See [all Brain Boost games](/brain-boost/) or the [Apple Watch pet overview](/apple-watch-pet/).
