What daily puzzling can bring you

An honest note first: we make no medical promises. What we do know is that puzzling is fun, gives satisfaction, and is a lovely way to start the day.

Staying actively engaged

Puzzling is active thinking: searching, reasoning, and solving. A daily sudoku can help you stay mentally engaged in a pleasant way.

A fixed, quiet moment

Many people find comfort in a daily ritual. The puzzle of the day is a lovely fixed moment: sit down for a bit, think, and finish with satisfaction.

A challenge that fits

Too easy gets boring, too hard gets discouraging. With three levels you choose the challenge that suits you — and grow along at your own pace.

Without pressure or obligation

No time limit, no scores you have to reach. Hints and mistake checking are ready when you want them. Puzzling should relax you, not stress you.

Frequently asked questions about brain training

What is brain training, actually?

By brain training we simply mean: actively using your mind with thinking games such as sudoku. You search, reason, and solve — an enjoyable form of mental activity, just as walking is a pleasant form of exercise.

Does sudoku help against memory problems or dementia?

We can't and won't promise that. Puzzling can help you stay actively engaged, and many people get joy and satisfaction from it — but it is not a treatment. If you're worried about your memory, discuss it with your doctor.

How much time does it take per day?

That's up to you. The daily puzzle takes most players five to fifteen minutes, and you can always pause: your puzzle is saved automatically.

I've never played sudoku before. Where do I start?

First read the rules in plain language — that takes five minutes. Then start with an easy puzzle: most cells are already filled in there, and every puzzle can be solved by logical thinking.

What does it cost?

Nothing. All puzzles on BreinPlezier are free, without an account and without hidden costs.
