There is nothing more important than good brain health and wellbeing throughout our lives. Yet, while many people are concerned with their physical health and utilise wearable technology and mobile devices to monitor their exercise, steps, heart rate, and so forth, we are not yet using technology to enhance our brain health and wellbeing. In this chapter, we discuss how neuroscientists can work together with other experts in game development, IT, and computing to develop enjoyable games for enhancing cognition, such as memory. In addition, we discuss how we can use games to improve cognition, motivation, and the ability to function in daily life for people with neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. Everyone likes to play games, so why not play one that is fun and good for your brain?
