1Mazing is games: word puzzles, logic, memory, quick reflex rounds and party games. We don't claim they raise your IQ, sharpen your memory or protect against decline. They're a fun way to keep your mind busy for five minutes a day, and that is the whole promise.
Claims like that are a known problem in this category. In 2016 Lumosity's maker paid $2 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that its ads made unfounded claims about work, school and age-related decline (FTC press release).
Try 1Mazing free. Nothing to buy in the app today, nothing locks after a few days.
