Easy Games for Seniors

The best easy game is one you understand in a few seconds. You read one line, you tap, and you are playing. No long rules, no tricky menus, no small print.

That is how every game on ElderWit.com begins. There are 1,000+ calm games, and every single one has an Easy level. You can stay on Easy as long as you like, or move up to Medium and Harder when you want something more.

Simple to start

Each game opens with a short, plain sentence that tells you what to do. The buttons are big, so they are easy to tap on a phone or a tablet. If you are not sure what to do next, the hint button shows you. When you finish, a play again button takes you right back to the start.

Good games to begin with

Make Ten asks you to tap two numbers that add up to the target. Rhyme Time asks you to find the word that rhymes. High or Low is a simple card game: will the next card be higher or lower? Go Fish is just like the card game you may have played at the kitchen table. Feed the Ducks is not really a game at all, just a calm moment by a pond.

On a phone, a tablet or a computer

ElderWit works in the web browser you already have. A tablet is a lovely size for most people, with plenty of room for big buttons. A phone works well too, and a computer is great if you like a large screen and a mouse. There is nothing to install, and there are no ads to get in the way.

Helping someone get started

If you are setting ElderWit up for a parent or grandparent, sit with them for the first game. Open ElderWit.com, go to the settings and choose Large text if they like. Pick one game you think they will enjoy, maybe a card game they already know, and play it together on Easy.

Show them the hint button and the play again button, then let them choose the next game on their own. Most people feel at home within a few minutes. You can also add the site to the home screen of a phone or tablet so it is one tap away.
