Thank you Rafaela . I knew it is a math game. If they decided to call it 'brain twister', why can't it be translated as 'rompecabezas' (DRAE 2 not 1). :)

estimulador de cerebros
That would be the literal translation of "brain twister", which is not a riddle nor a puzzle, but a game that stimulates kid's brains, teaching mathematics while they're having fun.
