Third-Party Open-Source Game Credits and Attributions​

Introduction​

As the brain ages, so does its ability to process, recall, and respond. However, just like the body, the brain can be strengthened with targeted exercises. The VitaliT App introduces five carefully selected cognitive games—not for casual entertainment—but as part of a daily mental workout regimen. Each game is grounded in cognitive science and is designed to activate and reinforce distinct brain regions critical for memory, logic, language, and spatial awareness.

Unlike conventional mobile games that promote screen addiction through rewards and infinite progression loops, VitaliT’s games are purposefully non-addictive. Each game delivers cognitive stimulation backed by neuroscience, promoting long-term brain health, increased focus, and mental agility.

Game 1: Master Mind​

A classic deductive reasoning game that challenges users to guess a secret code using logic and feedback-based analysis.

Cognitive Benefits:​

  • Strengthens logical reasoning, pattern analysis, and executive functioning.
  • Engages the prefrontal cortex and higher-order decision-making centers.
  • Promotes cognitive flexibility through hypothesis testing and strategy adjustment.

Game 2: 2048​

A numerical tile-merging game that tests foresight, spatial logic, and strategic planning.

Cognitive Benefits:​

  • Trains working memory and numerical reasoning.
  • Stimulates the prefrontal and parietal lobes.
  • Enhances mathematical fluency and attention control.

Game 3: Hangman Game (Renamed: Word Wizard)​

An advanced version of Hangman, adapted for vocabulary training and long-term memory enhancement.

Cognitive Benefits:​

  • Enhances verbal fluency and lexical retrieval.
  • Stimulates Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas.
  • Supports expressive and receptive language functions.

Game 4: Memory Match (Renamed: Flip Card)​

A visual memory game where users match pairs of cards using recall and pattern recognition.

Cognitive Benefits:​

  • Strengthens short-term memory and spatial layout awareness.
  • Stimulates the hippocampus and parietal lobes.
  • Helps with everyday memory tasks such as remembering locations or names.

Game 5: Tetris (Renamed: Block Drop)​

Inspired by Tetris, players manipulate falling blocks to form complete lines and prevent pile-up.

Cognitive Benefits:​

  • Develops spatial reasoning and motor coordination.
  • Activates occipital and parietal lobes.
  • Improves real-time visual-motor decision-making.

User Interface Enhancements Across All Games​

To ensure consistency and accessibility across the app, the following UI/UX adjustments were implemented in all games:

  • Enlarged text and icons for better visibility
  • High-contrast themes to aid visual recognition
  • Simplified navigation with larger tap areas
  • Removal of distracting animations and sound effects
  • Full integration with the VitaliT cognitive progress system

Purpose of Game Integration: Structured Cognitive Training​

These games are scientifically curated for mental stimulation. Each game contributes to different aspects of cognitive health:

  • Memory: Flip Card
  • Language: Word Wizard
  • Numerical Reasoning: 2048
  • Problem Solving: Master Mind
  • Spatial Reasoning: Block Drop

These games follow principles of:

  • Neuroplasticity
  • Cognitive Reserve Theory
  • Preventive Brain Health

Testimonials from VitaliT Users​

Zach, 28 – Accountant
“2048 sharpened my working memory. After just a few sessions, I was handling mental calculations in spreadsheets faster than ever.”

Maria, 62 – Retired Teacher
“I struggled to recall words during conversations. Word Wizard brought back my confidence. My speech feels fluid again.”

Ruth, 59 – Designer
“Block Drop improved how I visualize space. Now I organize better and remember where everything goes when I tidy up.”

Lily, 54 – Office Administrator
“Master Mind boosted my focus. It helped me ignore distractions and think critically through daily challenges.”

James, 65 – Retired Engineer
“Flip Card helped with my memory lapses. I misplace things less often and remember spatial layouts better.”

Combined Benefits of Using All Five Games​

Whole-Brain Activation:​

Each game targets different brain regions. Rotating between games ensures comprehensive cognitive exercise across memory, logic, language, attention, and spatial reasoning.

Improved Cognitive Resilience:​

Scientific evidence supports that varied cognitive stimulation helps build "cognitive reserve"—protecting against age-related decline and neurological conditions.

Real-Life Benefits:​

Improvements extend beyond gameplay—better memory, decision-making, organization, and communication in daily life.

Balanced Mental Workouts:​

Balanced game types prevent habituation and promote continuous learning and growth.

Conclusion: Differentiation from Addictive Games​

Unlike mobile games designed for entertainment and prolonged screen use, VitaliT brain games are intentionally non-addictive and wellness-focused. Key differences include:

  • No infinite levels or reward loops
  • Finite sessions with guided goals
  • Cognitive stimulation over gamification
  • Short, high-quality workouts promoting brain health

These exercises align with VitaliT’s mission: supporting healthy aging, lifelong learning, and sharper thinking.
