Your brain vs. the clock

60 seconds. How many words can you say.

The science bit

That "name as many as you can in one minute" format isn't something we made up. Researchers use tasks like naming as many animals as possible in one minute to study verbal fluency and semantic memory, and tasks like these can contribute to the assessment of cognitive function, including during evaluations for dementia.

Say60 is a game built on that idea, made for fun and awareness. Playing it is a great excuse to think about brain health, and to get the whole family playing along.

Say60 is for fun and awareness. It is not a validated dementia screening test, and your score cannot diagnose or rule out dementia. If you ever have concerns about your memory or thinking, the right move is a conversation with a clinician.

Privacy, briefly

No account. No email. No name. Say60 never asks who you are, and nothing you say during a game is stored or sent to us. Your answers exist only on this screen, only while you play.

One honest note about voice: this game is voice-only, so speech recognition is provided by your browser, and on some browsers (for example Chrome) your audio is processed by the browser maker's speech service to turn it into text.

We count only anonymous, on-device tallies for this session (visits, rounds started, rounds finished, shares) to understand whether the game is fun. They never leave this browser and are never used to guess anything about your health. This session so far: 1 visit.

Say60 — a 60-second word game for fun and brain-health awareness.
Not a medical test. Scores are for bragging rights only.

Researchers use tasks like naming as many animals as possible in one minute to study verbal fluency and semantic memory. These tasks can contribute to the assessment of cognitive function, including during evaluations for dementia.

Inspired by real research tasks: Animals, Fruits & Vegetables, and words beginning with F, A, or S — the letters of the FAS test (the Controlled Oral Word Association Test) used in cognitive research.

Just for fun — not research tasks: Foods, Countries, and Things in a Home. They're game categories we added purely for variety, with no published research norms behind them.

One score-keeping rule: scores are only comparable within the same Challenge number — the Challenge changes how many answers are possible. A fair challenge is always the same Challenge number against the same Challenge number.

This game is for fun and awareness. It is not a validated dementia screening test. Your score cannot diagnose or rule out dementia.

Someone you love might find this interesting, too. Invite a parent or grandparent to play along. It's a genuinely fun 60 seconds, and a pretty good conversation starter about looking after our brains.
