Why Retro Arcade Memory Games Suit Dementia Support
Our easy boards with familiar, friendly themes can be a calming activity for people living with dementia. No time pressure, large cards and forgiving rules mean the focus is on engagement and enjoyment rather than performance. Always follow your care team's guidance on suitable activities.
Benefits
- Calm, low-stress activity
- Familiar imagery (animals, flowers, seasons)
- No scoring or timer pressure required
- Can be played alongside a family member
Tips
- Stick to the easy board with six pairs.
