Games
Three gentle games
Each one plays differently, but all are simple, short, and forgiving. Pick whichever feels good today.
The thinking behind it
Why these activities may help
These games are inspired by cognitive stimulation approaches that are often used, informally and in structured programmes, with people living with early-stage dementia. Each one leans on something familiar — everyday objects, simple categories, or a gentle tune — rather than testing memory under pressure.
Recognition, not recall
Memory Lane uses familiar, concrete images so the activity feels like noticing, not straining to remember.
Simple categorisation
Find the Group draws on everyday groupings — fruits, kitchen items, clothing — that tend to stay familiar for a long time.
Music and reminiscence
Tune Match uses short, gentle melodies. Music and familiar cues are often associated with calm engagement.
Confidence, not competition
There are no scores to chase and no timers to beat. The aim is a pleasant few minutes, not a test.
A note on what this is — and isn’t
This site offers supportive, wellness-oriented activities for enjoyment and gentle engagement. It is not a medical device, treatment, or diagnostic tool, and it does not claim to cure, prevent, or slow the progression of dementia or any condition. If you have questions about memory, thinking, or a diagnosis, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
Built with care
Accessibility and design principles
These choices were made on purpose, to keep every screen calm and easy to use.
One thing per screen
Every screen asks for a single action, so there is never a question of what to do next.
Large text and targets
Body text is large and buttons are big enough to tap comfortably, even with less steady hands.
Strong, warm contrast
Colours are chosen for readability first, with warm tones instead of harsh clinical brights.
Keyboard and screen-reader friendly
Every button and card can be reached and used without a mouse, with clear focus outlines throughout.
No countdown pressure
Nothing is timed by default. Rounds wait patiently for as long as they are needed.
Calm motion
Animations are minimal and respect your device’s reduced-motion setting.
Looking ahead
Future language support
YoursCalmly is being built so that a full Chinese version can be added without reworking the site. You can already switch the interface below — the menus and layout are ready, while the games’ full content is still being translated.
