Stay curious, stay grounded.

Thinking, remembering and learning can be part of an active life. This page separates what we offer from what remains unknown. Sources reviewed: 20 October 2026.

What you can practise here

Challenges invite you to recall information, compare alternatives, notice details and justify conclusions. A correct answer shows what you did in that exercise. It does not by itself demonstrate improvement in everyday life.

What research says

The National Institute on Aging describes benefits from certain cognitive training programmes studied in research, but cautions that there is insufficient evidence to attribute the same effects to commercial applications. We cannot transfer trial results to these games. Read NIA guidance.

One activity within your day

Cognitive health guidance considers several habits, including physical activity appropriate to the individual, sleep, social connections and general healthcare. Games do not replace these habits. WHO addresses risk reduction as a broader issue than screen-based exercises. NIA · WHO guidelines, second edition.

Using Pausa without pressure

• Choose a challenge that interests you and read its rules.
• Try a strategy, check what happened and explain it in your own words.
• Use help whenever you like. Rest and return another day if you wish.
• Sharing a problem and hearing another strategy is part of learning too.

Our limits

Pausa has not been clinically validated, does not diagnose and is not a treatment. We do not claim it prevents Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. If changes in memory or thinking affect everyday life, speak with a healthcare professional.
