You’re probably aware that Dolph Lundgren could easily kick you in the face if he were so inclined, but did you know that he can expertly synthesize complex chemical compounds as well? In Brain Jitsu, Neo-Pangea’s latest collaboration with the National Geographic Channel, Dolph puts his black belt in karate and his master’s degree in chemical engineering to work in a game that challenges both your mind and your reflexes.
After you enter Dolph’s Brain Jitsu dojo using your mobile device or computer, he’ll guide you through a random series of mind-melting logic and memory challenges. How many months have 29 days in a leap year? Which vowel comes midway between C and H? Each session unique, so you can test your mental mettle again and again as Dolph punches and kicks knowledge directly into your brain.
Focus your mind, strike quickly to increase your score, and battle your way to a black belt at brainjitsu.nationalgeographic.com. An all-new season of Brain Games premieres Sunday, February 14 at 9/8c.
Action superstar Dolph Lundgren rose to prominence in the guise of Ivan Drago when he nearly knocked out Rocky Balboa. Shortly thereafter, he defeated Skeletor while embodying loincloth aficionado He-Man, and decades of success on the silver screen followed. As famous as this towering Swede is, comparatively few people are aware of his impressive intellect. Sure, Dolph is basically a tenured professor at the School of Whoop-Ass, but he’s also a real-life Mensa member with an I.Q. of 160. This paragon of brains and brawn agreed to unleash his dual nature in Brain Jitsu, a high-octane test of mind and body. Bringing the logic-and-trivia pain in advance of National Geographic Channel’s latest season of Brain Games, Dolph invited everyone into his personal Brain Jitsu dojo to engage in a battle of wits.
Designed to offer quick, effective brain training at home or on the road, Brain Jitsu kicked knowledge directly into your brain using visceral animation. Nat Geo’s partnership with Dolph Lundgren included ‘90s supervillain-level power to get the photos and voice recordings required to craft a butt-kicking experience. In the pursuit of the coveted black belt, players had to conquer a gauntlet of logic and memory challenges of varying difficulty. Anchor is to boat as root is to __? If you overtake the fourth place runner in a race, what place are you in? Each five-challenge session was supervised by Sensei Lundgren, whose skillful destruction of incorrect answers made challenges easier to solve at the cost of higher scores. Those who mastered these brain-busting trials drew one step closer to being as formidable as Dolph Lundgren himself.

Directed by Matt Villines of Saturday Night Live and comedy directing duo Matt & Oz, the letgo Commercializer initially features four customizable ads, including an absolutely spot-on parody of a quintessential 80’s action blockbuster, starring Dolph Lundgren as a mercenary brought out of retirement to help save mankind. The other ads available at launch include extravagant spoofs of an over-the-top perfume ad where two loin-clothed models fight over the user’s item inside a Roman temple; a typically ridiculous prescription drug ad; and an absurd shopping segment featuring two bickering former-lover co-hosts. The company plans to add more customizable ads to the letgo Commercializer.
The letgo Commercializer was created by CP+B Miami, letgo’s global ad agency of record, along with production partner Tool of North America, which developed the proprietary backend technology.
“Big-budget advertising has traditionally been limited to those with big budgets. With this handy innovation, all the magical selling power that used to take months to dream up and cost millions to produce can now be unleashed for free with a couple of clicks on the seller’s smartphone,” said Jay Gelardi, Executive Creative Director, CP+B Miami. “Commercials have never been so cost effective.”
