About MindMaze
We are the Cognitive Science Club, based in Farmington, CT. Our MindMaze initiative began while our Co-President, Emma Koh, was managing her local hospital’s book cart when she noticed that many patients were too tired for the thick novels available. In response, our club created MindMaze—an accessible activity book filled with engaging puzzles and illustrations designed to brighten any hospital stay. Our goal is to bring comfort, stimulation, and a reason to smile to patients globally.

Our Vision
Puzzles with Purpose
Many hospitals globally feature a “book cart” program, providing patients with free books, magazines, and puzzles during their stay. Our mission is to fill these carts with books designed for happiness and healing. After partnering with local hospitals to distribute our materials, we created this site so that any caretaker can download and print them for free. Click below to see our past partnerships and learn more about our books.
Meet Our Team
Leaders of the Cognitive Science Club, we have coordinated our MindMaze initiative as a team, leading peers in book creation, collaborating with local restaurants to fund our materials, and networking with hospitals to deliver our work to patients. We hope that our books can be a gift of joy and comfort to your patients.
