"Brainy" Web Diversions?

[AmeliaJane]

We just bought an interactive wall board (like a giant iPad for the wall) for work and I am in charge of training the staff to use it. Many are older and a little afraid of new technology, and I was thinking that a fun way to get them to interact with it, and also for warm-ups etc at training classes of various kinds, would be to find some Internet puzzles, word games, brainteasers etc that they could work on as a group. I am looking for more of "thinking" type activities rather than games like Angry Birds.

Any suggestions?

I wonder if there is a web based version of the Words with Friends/Scrabble apps out there. They could work as a team and play a random opponent or something...however I would feel a little sorry for the person on the other end, lol.

I just downloaded on my iPad some brain training apps but with some other apps just to keep my mind going. How about scrabble, wheel of fortune, solitaire. Reader's digest has a free games on their official website. Just look at their menu toward the right side. I just completed a puzzle on there.

I think the best game for a group would be wheel of fortune! Chris

This website is designed for school children, but the geography and history games have challenging levels.

Dragonbox is a great game app that sneakily teaches you algebra.
