Questions

Are these games only for adults?

No. Everyone can play them. They are on this list because many grown-ups look for calm games like these.

Which one should I try first?

Mahjong solitaire is a good start: you match pairs of tiles at your own pace, and the lamp shows you a pair when you are stuck.

Do I ever have to guess?

No. Every Sudoku and every Prism picture here can be solved by thinking it through.
