About Social Sudoku
Our Mission
We created Social Sudoku to provide a welcoming, accessible platform for adults aged 55 and older to enjoy brain-healthy puzzles while staying connected with friends and family.
Our goal is to combine the cognitive benefits of Sudoku with meaningful social connections, all in an interface designed specifically for seniors' needs.
Why Sudoku?
Research shows that regular mental exercise, including puzzle-solving, can help maintain cognitive health as we age. Sudoku is perfect because it:
- Exercises logical thinking and pattern recognition
- Provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment
- Can be enjoyed at your own pace
- Offers adjustable difficulty levels
- Requires no special knowledge - just logic
