A few good minutes a day for your mind. Fifteen small, calm games and one daily Challenge. Play a little, then put the phone down. My son and I made Grandmind for Grandma. We saw her days slipping away into endless scrolling and wanted to give her something better to reach for: short games with big pieces, clear words and nothing to rush. THE CHALLENGE Swipe each piece to the side it matches. Every so often a twist changes what to match. Three misses end the run, and each right answer scores more as the game gets harder. Compare with friends on the Game Center leaderboard. FIFTEEN GAMES IN FIVE AREAS • Memory: Remember, Repeat, Notice • Focus: Search, Filter, Follow • Speed: React, Compare, Scan • Logic: Predict, Plan, Sort • Spatial: Mirror, Rotate, Copy Every game opens with a short moving demo, so you see how to play before you start. Choose a try of 1, 3 or 6 minutes. Games step up after two right answers and ease off after a miss, so they meet you where you are. SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING Stats show your streak, your time played, a calendar of the days you played and a chart of all five areas, with your gains marked against your own earlier tries. EASY FOR EVERY AGE • Big pieces and large, clear text • Relaxed timing gives you twice the time to look • Colour patterns if colours are hard to tell apart • Screen limit: apps you choose, like social media, lock after your daily time until you've played today's five • Gentle reminders, and one missed day a week won't break your streak • Light and dark themes, and four app icons to pick from • Your progress syncs between iPhone and iPad with iCloud • No ads FREE AND PRO Five games are free every day, one from each area, and they change daily. The Challenge, Stats and leaderboards are always free. Grandmind Pro opens all fifteen games, any day. Choose a yearly plan, or buy Lifetime once.
