Read-aloud questions
The Read current button uses your browser's built-in speech feature when available. It is useful if reading small text is tiring, if a carer is leading a group, or if the game is being played on a tablet across a table. The text is read by the browser; Spinnit does not need to send the question to a separate voice service.
Who these games are for
These games are useful for older adults who prefer large print, families looking for relaxed online activities, carers leading a quiet group, and anyone who wants simple trivia, crossword, word, memory or read-aloud games without installing an app.
Games for older people FAQ
Are these games free?
Yes. The trivia, crossword, word scramble, memory pairs and conversation prompts are free to use in the browser.
Can I use these games in a care home or activity group?
Yes. Use the page on a tablet, laptop or projector. The games are designed for relaxed group play, with large text and optional read-aloud controls.
Do the games claim to improve memory?

Does read-aloud work on every device?
It depends on the browser. Most modern browsers include speech synthesis, but if it is unavailable the games still work normally.
