Tetris has also some health benefits now. According to a study done in the UK by the researchers, playing the computer puzzle game Tetris can help reduce the effects of traumatic stress. The study exposed volunteers to disturbing imagery and for some; it allowed them to play the game after. For players who played the game had less flashbacks of the disturbing imagery and their stress levels were even reduced. Fewer flashbacks resulted due to disruption of the laying down of memories.

Thus, it is hoped that the study could help the development of new strategies for reducing the impact of trauma. Dr. Emily Holmes commented that Tetris may work by competing for the brain’s resources for sensory information.
