Currently, cognitive stimulation exercises conducted with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)-affected older adults are typically administered by care professionals through exercises, which require a high degree of involvement by professional therapists, and are often perceived as tedious by the older adults. We aim to offer novel digital training through serious games designed using personally relevant material from the older adults' life. They will be based on memories associated with their biography, thus making interactions personalised, relevant, and more engaging. The serious games can be accessed through humanoid robots, which can make the training exercise more engaging because of their human-like behaviour. In this paper we discuss our approach to biography-based games for older adults
