Spot the hazard game instructions

  1. Click on any of the rooms. In each room there's a number of hazards that can cause a fall – can you identify them all?

  3. If you're stuck at any point, click on the help button "?" which can give you some clues.

Pairs puzzle game instructions

This is a fun game to test your memory and help you learn more about fall prevention. The aim of 'Pairs' is to match all the pairs in the quickest time possible.

  1. To turn a card over, tap (if you're using touch screen) or click (if you're using a PC/laptop) on the card.
  2. You can only turn two cards over at a time.
  3. Cards turn back over automatically. You can also turn a card back over by clicking or tapping on it again.
  4. Once you find a pair, some useful information will appear.
  5. You can make the game easy, difficult or very difficult to suit your speed.
