Why we built this
We spent five years caring for someone we loved as her mind changed. These games come from that. Ten minutes a day of real thinking - because a brain that’s working is a brain that’s engaged.
Where a share of this goes
A share of everything The Hardest earns goes to dementia research and caregiver support - the Alzheimer’s Association, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
