Evening Lights

Game description

Evening Lights

Every movement brings more colours and dancing lights to life across the table. The game unfolds in three rounds, gradually introducing new colours and music to help players unwind as they marvel at the sparkles. It’s a gentle, multi-sensory experience — the kind of soothing, sensory-based approach increasingly used in dementia care (‘snoezelen‘).

Tips

Make the game more fun

• Challenge players to follow a single light with their finger until it drifts out of reach.
• Dim the room lights beforehand to make the colours and sparkles stand out even more.
• Play this game before bedtime to help players unwind and prepare to end the day.

Level

Level 2

Players do not just observe the game, but must also be able to focus their attention on it. There is no goal to work toward; it’s a gentle first step into active play at each player’s own pace.

Effect

• 

  Sensory effect

  Sensory stimulation has many positive benefits, including mood enhancement. In these games, this is achieved through the use of interactive images and sounds.

• 

  Physical effect

  Games with a physical component elicit intuitive movements and respond to even the smallest of hand movements of the players. This increases their self-confidence and motivates them to continue playing and moving.
