Mostly False

Playing Tetris can increase brain power by almost 150%.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (35/100).

The claim that playing Tetris can increase brain power by almost 150% is not supported by the evidence. Studies indicate that playing Tetris can lead to neuroplastic changes, such as increased cortical thickness and improved brain efficiency. However, no evidence supports a specific increase of 150% in brain power. The claim appears to be an exaggeration of the actual findings, which do not quantify the increase in such terms.
