catscratch Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I made a Lumosity account earlier today just to see what it was like. I did the first little run though and found it to be, at the very least, entertaining. However, I am loathe to spend time on entertainment that is being alloted to training my mind and body. So my questions are thus: Does anybody here use Lumosity? If so, how was your experience with it? Is it worth the time expenditure or mearly an entertaining way to pass the time.

Elastigirl Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I just do the 4 games for free. I figured if I started to see great improvements I could pay for the upgrade. Did it faithfully for a couple of weeks, now I only do it occasionally. I enjoy it, but I am not convinced it has a better brain benefit than reading a book, or playing a strategy game, or other things I could do for free.

catscratch Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was thinking similar things. I have no foreseeable plans of upgrading to the paid service but it is at least working my brain a LITTLE.

superjenni Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 My friend put me on her family account and my scores increase on the weeks I am consistent. I've always done logic puzzles, cryptograms, and the other 990000 types of games found in those books, but this feels different to me. I like that reaction time matters and I can't lollygag.
