There are three main ways to increase IQ levels through playing video games, according to a professor. Playing video games increases IQ level by increasing our attention and concentration, according to a professor. " One of the best ways is that they increase your attention and concentration," Professor of Education Scott Elledge said. " Another way is that video games are problem-solving.
They're puzzles, and you have to figure out what's going on in order to complete them." Ellie added a third benefit from playing video games was their tendency to enhance reasoning skills. "One of the things about video games is that they encourage people to think logically," Elledge said. "It deals with problems; it deals with figuring out patterns." He said video games teach gamers how to solve complex situations, which can translate into everyday life. "If you're trying to escape from zombies in the game … you have to figure out where they are and how to get away," Elledge said.
"Those things translate into everyday problems that we face." Video games increase IQ levels by increasing our attention and concentration, according to a professor. "It's actually the same thing in your brain when you're concentrating on something like it is when you concentrate on solving math problems," one of the study's researchers Michael Posner told Wired Science.
"There is an area towards the front of your brain -- called the prefrontal cortex -- that is important for executive control," Posner said. "That's what we think is activated when you're concentrated." He adds video games can help to train such skills. "If our data is right, training tasks that are interesting and novel will be useful for [many] kinds of executive control," he says. "You don't have to train people on the kind of boring AT&T phone book sort of problems ...
When the problems come up in everyday life, they actually do apply it." A third benefit from playing video games was their tendency to enhance reasoning skills.

Conclusion:
As we can see from this article, if we want to increase our IQ through playing games, we need to train ourselves on problem-solving skills and how to deal with complex situations (which can help us in everyday life). If we want to increase our IQ level through playing games, we simply focus on these two aspects while playing Games and that will certainly prove beneficial for us.
Finally, I would like to add one more thing which is "do not get addicted" because addiction is also harmful to health (in fact all addictions are harmful).
