After four initial seasons, the series was rebooted as "最强大脑之燃烧吧大脑" ("The Brain: Burn Your Brain"), with a brand new concept and format, targeted at gathering teenage to adult contestants, and introducing a series of new puzzle-based games throughout the series. The newly formatted show has run yearly since 2018.
No monetary prizes are awarded nor stressed in this program, as the format aims to find individuals who possess extraordinary mental skills. The Chinese version airs weekly.
