The Details

Start with one quarter page template, and move on to the next template to increase the difficulty.
The instructions detail how to find the appropriate level of challenge.
The game is also available in a "low vision" edition with a larger template for people with vision or dexterity challenges.
The packaging does not include any mention of dementia or Alzheimer’s so that you can give to an elderly loved one with confidence.

How to Use
-
The introductory templates are used to familiarize the person with the shapes and colors. One template shows color swatches, and the other shows the shapes.
-
Once the person can distinguish between the shapes and colors, use the appropriate pieces and template labeled top left to start the puzzle.
-
Add the pieces and template labeled top right and continue the puzzle. Point out how the colors continue in the same line-vertically and the shapes are the same across.
-
Add the third and then the fourth templates in the same way to complete the puzzle.
-
For added complexity, any of the templates can be replaced by the black template - this is more difficult because the person has to match the colors and patterns from the other templates with no hints.
-
The game can be played alone or with multiple players. Players take turns matching the tiles by color or shape

Customer Reviews
Keeps me amused even thought I do not have dementia.
I always get a small gift to unwrap and then a larger gift of money for my grandkids at Christmas. That way their large gift from me can be something they really want. Most are now teens and older with my 7 and 9 year old boys being the youngest. These brain teaser puzzles should be a fun challenge for them.
The quality of the game/puzzle is amazing! The pieces are easy for my husband (Alzheimer’s) to handle and he likes the color and smooth texture. We’re only using the pieces to talk about shapes and colors. It might take some time for him to engage with the board and cards.What I do is set it on the table so he can stop and “fiddle” with it as he passes by. Then perhaps after breakfast or lunch we “play” a game.I gave it 4 stars only bc it might be a little too challenging for individuals in the final stages. But I imagine a year ago my husband would have taken to it more quickly.
I donated these to the memory care place my mom is in
It's nice and colourful I help momma who's 92The purple is a lighter color , so she has a hard time with that one
