I’m not so much looking for “brain games” as something that facillitates practicing crit thinking in terms of recognizing and evaluating claims and detecting biases and rhetoric etc. Maybe media crit a bit also, like “what are the claims being made and argue against them or what is a counterargument” etc
I wonder if that law school entrance exam prep thingy would be helpful…
Read good fiction or literature, those are the bread and butter processes of critically reading truly good fiction that doesn’t hamfistedly oversimplify the human condition.
Here are some recommendations:
To The Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf
or
Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier
I am not talking about scifi that is more interested in the technical details of space war than giving characters depth, though there is plenty of amazing scifi of course!

This sounds more like a fact checker than brain games.
