Brain Blast

Brain Blast! (熱戦！ 頭脳ファイト) is a quiz minigame in Final Fantasy XIII-2 played on terminals scattered around Academia -4XX AF-. Completing a quiz wins the player some CP, Fragments, and treasures.

Overview
The quiz is free to play and is said to be sponsored by the Academy. The player must answer ten consecutive questions correctly to win. Each of the four terminals have different sets of questions. The answers are given by selecting the correct button on the controller. The questions are asked randomly and can range from basic knowledge of the world of Final Fantasy XIII to the trivial and occasionally are based simply on random chance.

The terminals can be found on the streets in Academia, two in New Town, one in Grand Avenue, and one outside the Academy Headquarters.

Rewards
The player receives a Fragment for the first time they finish a game on a terminal. After having completed all terminals the game declares this to the player, announcing that the player's name will be added to the Academy datanet. Whenever a player completes a quiz they also win a monster adornment. The player can win a prize from a terminal three times; any consecutive win gives nothing.

Trivia

 * Although most of the answers are about the events and the world of both Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2, some answers have references to older games in the series, such as when asking about Cid Raines's surname, one of the options is 'Highwind', referencing to Cid Highwind from Final Fantasy VII. Also Honey Bee Inn is included from the same game.
 * The question about a urban legend of a group of prisioners that had to compete in a chocobo race for freedom, is a reference to Final Fantasy VII, when Cloud and party had to do that.
