Gaming with Seniors in Your Life
Our Game Reviews

Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is an excellent game for seniors because of its relaxing pace and simple yet engaging gameplay. Unlike many modern games that require fast reflexes or intense concentration, Stardew Valley allows players to farm, fish, mine, and interact with villagers at their own speed.

Ring Fit Adventure
In Ring Fit Adventure, players explore a huge fantasy world and defeat enemies using a ring for exercises. Most game exercises involve pressing together the sides of the ring, which can be a surprising good work out. One Switch controller goes into the ring, and the other goes into a leg strap.

Bejeweled Classic
This is an old game from the earliest smartphones. There are a lot of encouraging messages as you succeed in the early stages of the game. This game can really keep your focus, as you constantly scan for matches.

Color By Numbers for Adults
There are many “paint by number” games on the app stores. We recommend this one because of its extensive free level and engaging choices. Each painting has from 50 to 100 unique colors and thousands of spaces to color. It can take an hour or more to complete one painting.

Beatles Rock Band
Who doesn’t love the Beatles! The Beatles are loved by people of all ages, but no one loves them more than Baby Boomers. It is likely that your grandma knows all of the Beatles songs. It will be great seeing Grandma as a hot-rocking drummer!
