Abstract Games can be a great and effective approach for elderly people to keep their minds sharp and improve their cognitive processes. Not all games are equally effective, so it is crucial to pick ones that target specific cognitive skills that need to be improved. The main objective of the project is the development of a serious game which focuses on training the memory, attention, problem-solving and decision making. The game was designed as a 3D platformer game genre with multiple levels and quizzes. The player will be distracted by playing the game while remembering the certain objects which are shown at the start of the game and answering the multiple-choice question type quizzes at the end of the game. In this way, the player is tested for his cognitive functions in an engaging and interactive way.
