[For Seniors] Perfect for Passing the Time! A Collection of Recommended Game Apps for the Elderly

Everyone’s Brain Training

[App Commentary] What’s your brain age? Brain training for everyone!

Even when we say “brain training,” the areas people want to improve vary from person to person.

That’s why I recommend “Minna no Nōtore” (Everyone’s Brain Training).

Its biggest feature is that you can choose categories based on what you want to train.

There are as many as seven categories, such as Memory and Reaction.

For example, Memory often involves games like remembering illustrations, while Reaction features simple tasks like tapping quickly.

A score is shown at the end, so you can work on it daily while feeling your progress.

Brain Training Revolution Pictori!

Pictorial Shiritori Game “Brain Training Revolution Pictori!”

If you’re looking for a game that really makes you think, I recommend “Brain Training Revolution Pictory.” It’s a brain-training app that combines shiritori (a Japanese word-chain game) with puzzles.

First, several illustrations appear on the screen.

While figuring out what each illustration represents, you select them so that they form a proper shiritori chain.

The app offers three difficulty levels, so you can enjoy it for a long time.

At higher difficulties, longer words like “pipopotamasu” also make an appearance.
