Health & Safety Notice

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING — READ BEFORE PLAYING. Some MindSolv games contain flashing elements, rapid colour changes, fast motion and high-contrast patterns. A small number of people may experience seizures, blackouts, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, disorientation, involuntary movements or convulsions when exposed to such stimuli — including people with no prior history and no previous diagnosis of epilepsy. If you or anyone in your family has had an epileptic or photosensitive reaction, consult a doctor before playing.

STOP PLAYING IMMEDIATELY and consult a qualified medical professional if you experience dizziness, light-headedness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, disorientation, involuntary movement, nausea, severe headache, or any convulsion.

What MindSolv is — and is not

MindSolv is cognitive entertainment and skills practice. It is not a medical device, not a healthcare service, and not a diagnostic, screening, therapeutic, rehabilitative or preventive tool. Nothing in the app — no score, rating, percentile, radar, report, baseline or comparison — is a measurement of your health, your intelligence, your brain, or any clinical condition, and none of it should be shown to anyone as if it were. We make no claim that playing improves memory, attention, intelligence, school or work performance, or that it prevents, delays, treats or helps any medical condition. If you have questions about your cognition or health, speak to a qualified professional — MindSolv cannot and does not advise you.

Play safely

• Play in a well-lit room, sitting comfortably, as far from the screen as is comfortable, and turn the brightness down if the screen feels harsh.
• Take a break of 10–15 minutes every hour, and stop sooner if you feel tired, strained or frustrated. MindSolv is designed around a few minutes a day — more is not better.
• Never play while driving, cycling, walking in traffic, operating machinery, or in any situation where distraction could be dangerous.
• Rapid tapping and repeated inputs can aggravate hand, wrist, arm, neck or shoulder discomfort. If you feel pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest, and consult a professional if it persists.
• Headphones are used in some games. Set the volume low before you start; sustained loud audio can damage hearing.
• Do not play when you are seriously sleep-deprived, unwell, or under the influence of alcohol or anything that affects your alertness.

Scores, streaks and your wellbeing

MindSolv is deliberately competitive: ratings move, streaks build and leaderboards rank. That is meant to be fun. It is not meant to be a source of stress, guilt or self-criticism. A bad run is a bad run — scores fluctuate with sleep, mood, stress, illness, caffeine, screen size, connection quality and simple chance, and a low score means nothing about your worth or your mind. Please do not use MindSolv to test, monitor or reassure yourself about a health concern; it is not built for that and cannot answer it. If play stops feeling good — if you feel compelled to protect a streak, anxious about a rating, or worse about yourself after playing — take a break or stop. Streak freezes exist so that missing a day costs you nothing that matters.

If you are struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a qualified professional or someone you trust. MindSolv is a game, and it is not a substitute for care or support.

Adaptation preferences

You can optionally tell us to adapt the games — calmer pacing, reduced flashing, colourblind-safe palettes, larger targets, more forgiving timing. This is a comfort setting, not a medical accommodation, and it does not make any game safe for someone for whom play is unsafe. It reduces intensity where a game allows it; it cannot remove every flashing or fast-moving element. If you are photosensitive, please treat the warning at the top of this page as the governing advice regardless of any setting. You can change or delete these preferences at any time from your Account, and we handle them as described in the Privacy Policy.

Children

MindSolv is for adults aged 18 and over. Children are more susceptible to photosensitive reactions than adults, which is one of several reasons a Junior edition — if launched — will be built separately, with parental consent and age-appropriate design, rather than by letting children use this one.

Assumption of risk

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you play MindSolv by your own choice and assume the risks described on this page. Our liability is limited as set out in section 13 of the Terms. Nothing in this notice or in the Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
