Games for Seniors to Play Alone

There are many quiet hours in a week. Early mornings, long afternoons, the evening after the dishes are done. A good game for one person can turn that time into something to look forward to.

ElderWit.com has 1,000+ calm games, and most of them are made to play on your own. You can play on a phone in your favorite chair, on a tablet at the kitchen table or on a computer at your desk. There is nothing to download and no ads.

Classic games for one

Solitaire is the classic game for one, and ElderWit has many kinds: Klondike, FreeCell, Peg Solitaire and more. The cards are large and easy to read. If you like numbers, Sudoku is a lovely way to spend twenty minutes. If you like words, Word Garden asks you to make as many words as you can from a set of letters.

Games for a slow, peaceful pace

Not every game has to be a challenge. In our Relax and Create games you can fill a fish tank in the Aquarium, cast a line in Quiet Fishing or follow a Gentle Maze to a little house. There is no score to chase. You simply enjoy it.

Play at your own pace

Every game has three levels, so you can choose how much of a puzzle you want today. A hint button is always there if you get stuck. Your progress stays on your device, so you can stop whenever you like and come back later.

Some people like to play one game each morning and one each evening. Others try something new every day. Either way, there is always another game waiting.

When you want a little company

Playing alone does not have to feel lonely. Many of our Talk and Remember games give you a question to think about, like your favorite things or a perfect day, and they make a nice story to share on the next phone call. Our trivia games about the 1950s and 1960s often bring back a song or a film you can talk about with a friend.

And when someone does visit, most single player games are easy to share. Hand over the tablet and take turns, or work out a puzzle together.
