PressReader for Libraries

Puzzles such as crosswords and sudoku have stood the test of time and can deliver real benefits. A large-scale and widely-reported study conducted by the University of Exeter and King’s College London tested the attention, memory and reasoning skills of more than 19,000 participants aged 50 and over. On average, those who regularly did these classic puzzles had the brain function of someone ten years younger and the short-term memory of someone eight years younger.

This great new feature is available from the PressReader web browser and IOS devices now (Android coming soon), so your users can enjoy interactive puzzles like cryptic crosswords, Make Tracks, Noughts and Crosses, Pathfinder, Sudoku and Wordsearch.
