Ultimate Brain was a super fun British game show all about science! It aired on CBBC and was hosted by Duncan Wisbey, who played the amazing monkey scientist, Dr. Brain. The show also starred Imran Yusuf as Guinea Pig, or GP.

How the Game Works
In each episode of Ultimate Brain, three different teams competed. Two of the teams were made up of kids aged 10 to 12 years old. These were the Green Team and the Yellow Team. The third team, the Blue Team, was made up of "celebrities." These celebrities were often actors or presenters from other popular CBBC shows.
All the teams took part in various exciting science challenges and quizzes. These challenges tested their knowledge and problem-solving skills in fun ways. The team that won the most challenges and quizzes got to take home the special Ultimate Brain trophy!
