Choose the right game

If reading small text is tiring

Use large-print trivia and the read-aloud option where the browser supports it.

If fast games feel stressful

Use untimed memory pairs, word prompts or the gentle game set.

If you need a group icebreaker

Use conversation prompts, the random question generator, the would-you-rather generator, random countries, the yes/no wheel or a coin flip.
