I don't know that it makes teenagers run for their lives, but
there is
a brain game called brainworkshop on sourceforge that uses dual n-back
training (based on research) to enhance / sustain working memory, thus
keeping executive function of the brain in top condition. There is a
talk group for people who use it with lots of useful information if you
are interested in brain exercise / improvement.
I've taken a look at it and downloaded it. The last time the project
was updated was 2015-7-10, the wiki has nothing but a rather generic
home page and the README file in the downloaded .zip has no instructions
on how to install or run the game, just a changelog. So far, I'm not
impressed, but I may get bored enough to install and run it just to see
what happens. Possibly if I knew more about what to expect, I'd be less
underwhelmed.
