Brain Chair

The Brain Chair is a unique item, used by Staff to receive the Brain Boost feeling, which confers various buffs. It was a reward from The Gyro-Nut, the first global project available via The Superbug Initiative. On 18th December 2019, it was made available to all players as part of the Hospital Pass.

Appearance
The Brain Chair is a chunky dark grey seat with no arm rests, and pale red cushions. Mounted on the back is a helmet with an illuminated visor and four bare light bulbs.

Function
Upon sitting in the chair, the helmet will rise on an articulated cable and clamp onto the staff member's head, remaining there for a few seconds before retracting itself. The Staff member will receive a unique feeling: "Brain Boost - Temporarily and artificially heightened mental processing".

Brain Boost increases staff movement speed by +20%, increases their learning speed by +100% and also increases their diagnosis skill by an extra +10%. These increases in stats and abilities are removed once the Brain Boost effect wears off, which will happen after roughly one month.

Room
The Brain Chair can be placed in most rooms, the exceptions being the Café, Reception and Surgery. It also cannot be placed in the Corridor.

Trivia
If the Brain Chair is picked up by the player while the helmet was on a staff member's head, the process will immediately cancel, but the staff member's hair will be gone.
