Join in!
It’s a free, family-friendly way to test your brain and get some fresh air. We hope our challenge will be a fun way to spread the important message that dementia isn’t an inevitable part of old age for many of us. In fact 45% of cases of dementia can be avoided with simple lifestyle changes like staying active and challenging your brain.
What is the Big Brain Challenge?
The Big Brain Challenge is a scavenger hunt with a difference. We have designed a route to walk that covers ten local venues. At each venue is a clue to send you to your next landmark. Along the way, you’ll collect letters to spell out a mystery word!
We’ve designed our challenge to involve ten stops and take between one and half and three hours maximum, depending on your walking pace and whether you choose to take breaks.
All you need is a phone that can read QR codes – and your feet! If you don’t have a smartphone, don’t worry just pop into our office near the library and we’ll give you the clues.
How tricky is it?
The questions are designed to be suited for various ages to keep everyone interested.
Not feeling too mobile? Don’t worry, the route is solely based in St Helier, and you don’t have to do it all in one go.
Read on to join the fun – and one lucky entrant will also win a special prize.
