Introduction: The use of the game, as a dual-task evaluation system, has demonstrated relevant potential due to its properties. Objective: Test the applicability of the analog game in the evaluation of dual tasks in older people. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out with a sample of 13 older people with the ability to walk short distances. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out with a sample of 13 older people with the ability to walk short distances. The test is characterized by sociodemographic aspects, functional mobility (Timed-up and Go Test-TUG) and cognitive function (6-CIT). Participants were tested on their performance (time/sec) in the Maze game (Agilities, Inc.) in different modalities: clean game boxes (S, M, and L) versus cognitively cued game boxes. For each modality, 3 attempts were recognized. After a descriptive analysis (median, IQR) of the performance in the game, in the TUG and in the 6-CIT, the statistical difference between the game levels was analyzed (wilcoxon) and the correlation between performance and the TUG was calculated. . and the 6-CIT. Results: In the fair play mode, the average time increases according to the size of the squares (S:7.67 - L: 14.50); Strong correlations between TUG and time will be found in tables S (r=0.802) and L (r=0.808). The variability between tests is greater for the Mpistas panel (1.53-20.67). Moderate correlations were detected between 6-cit and Spistas (0.580), Mlimpo (0.639) and Mpistas (0.636). Conclusion: Difficulties in balancing result in increased difficulties in playing fair games. Some adaptations to the Game protocol may be decisive to guarantee safety conditions in the evaluation of double tasks for older people.
