Classic Photo Game
Their faces, unchanged. Built for recognition, conversation, and reminiscence with a parent or grandparent who has dementia. How it helps
Your family photos, as a matching card game.
Personal photo cards for someone living with dementia. Choose Walgreens pickup or a card deck shipped to your home.
Optional
Themed Photo Game
The same family photos, drawn as illustrations. Use this only if they still enjoy novelty. Classic is usually the better starting point.

How it works
1
Upload photos of people they know
Family, friends, caregivers. Familiar faces matter more than variety.
2
Keep them classic, or add a theme
Classic prints the photos as they are. That is the default for dementia care. Themes are optional.
3
Pick up at Walgreens today
Choose a nearby store. Most orders are ready the same day.
Research context
Research behind familiar-photo activities
PhotoMatchFun is a shared activity. Research on reminiscence and structured cognitive stimulation informs the idea, but does not establish clinical benefits for this game.
Structured cognitive stimulation
Spector and colleagues evaluated a structured cognitive stimulation program in a randomized trial. That program is different from using a photo matching game at home.
Spector et al., British Journal of Psychiatry (2003)Reminiscence and familiar memories
A Cochrane review found that reminiscence therapy outcomes vary across settings and methods, with benefits generally small and inconsistent. These findings should not be treated as a promise about this game.
