Three short games a day, in under 10 minutes, with big text and no rushing. Start on paper with the free worksheets below, in your browser with nothing to install, or in the SilverMind app on iPhone and iPad.
Good brain games for older adults are calm, clear and a little challenging. The buttons are large, the text is easy to read, nobody is racing a clock, and there are no ads to tap by mistake. A game should feel like a crossword with your morning coffee, not like a test.
SilverMind was made for exactly that. It has 28 exercises for memory, attention, speed, words and reasoning, and every day it picks three of them for you. The level adjusts as you play, so the games stay pleasant instead of getting too easy or too hard.
