Dr Amber Johnston, a clinical psychologist in neuropsychology, said that brainteasers help to keep our brain active, young, and have a positive impact on mental wellbeing.

She said: “What is well understood about both the brain and mental health is that people are highly driven to pursue learning.

“Anything that offers new challenge and learning opportunities has been found to lead to greater well-being and enjoyment.

“Because we are naturally motivated towards challenge and learning, brainteasers fit into a fun category of hobbies that can improve our mental health.”
