About BrainDrop

What BrainDrop is

BrainDrop is a collection of ten puzzle and word games that run entirely in your web browser: Wordle-style word guessing, word search, crossword, sudoku, trivia, jigsaw, maze, memory, a speed-reaction trainer, and a larger-type section built for older players.

There is no sign-up, no email capture, no app to download and no paywall. Open a game and play. Your streaks and best scores are stored in your own browser, on your own device, and never reach us.

Who makes it

BrainDrop is built and maintained by a small independent team. We publish under the site's name rather than individual bylines, and we do not claim credentials we do not hold. Every game here is our own implementation, written for this site — not an embedded third-party game or a licensed widget.

Why the seniors section exists

Most casual game sites are built for people with sharp eyesight, a mouse and a fast connection. Our seniors section uses larger type, higher contrast, bigger tap targets and simpler layouts, and the games there are chosen because they work well without fast reflexes. It is not a different set of games with a label on it — it is a different set of choices about legibility and pace.

What we do not claim

We do not claim that playing these games prevents dementia, improves memory in daily life, or produces any medical benefit. The honest position is that puzzle games are enjoyable, that practising a specific skill improves that specific skill, and that evidence for broad transfer to everyday function is weak. If a site tells you otherwise, be sceptical — the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has taken action against brain-training companies for exactly those claims.

How it is funded

Advertising. That is the whole model. There is no subscription, no premium tier, and nothing on this site is for sale. Ads never determine what we build or what these pages say.

Errors and feedback

If a puzzle is unsolvable, a trivia answer is wrong, or a game misbehaves on your device, tell us on the contact page and name the game. See how our games work for how each puzzle is generated and how we handle corrections.
