National Geographic has reimagined BRAIN GAMES and added a Hollywood twist to the classic mind-bending format. Hosted by Keegan-Michael Key ("Friends From College," "Toy Story 4," "Lion King"), world-famous mentalist Lior Surchard, and field correspondent and science communicator Cara Santa Maria, this new season of BRAIN GAMES challenges some of the world's biggest celebrities to realize their special brain power through fun and highly entertaining interactive games, illusions and social experiments that will reveal the "why" behind the "wow." The in-studio audience and the viewers at home can play along, comparing their mental abilities against those of the A-listers. Join in the fun as BRAIN GAMES reveals the incredible science of what makes our brains tick!
