Description
Improve mental health, resilience and social-emotional skills.
SuperBetter is at heart a simple and transformative idea – we can use the same strengths naturally displayed in game play to confront real-life challenges, build skills, manage stress & practice self-care.
SuperBetter uses the psychology of game play in all of life. Playing SuperBetter means bringing a gameful mindset to real-life - challenging yourself, going for epic wins, adopting a secret identity, completing quests, battling bad guys, activating power-ups and checking-in with allies. The 7 rules for living gamefully is a framework to be stronger, happier, braver & more resilient in everyday life.
Invented by researcher & game designer Jane McGonigal, SuperBetter is backed by science. In a randomized controlled trial at University of Pennsylvania playing SuperBetter for 30 days was associated with significant improvements in mental health and resilience.
The SuperBetter app makes it simple to go for epic wins, track your gameful strengths and build your whole-person resilience - mental, social, emotional & physical. Proven results in 10 minutes a day.
SuperBetter is for youth, teens, young adults & everyone who wants to unlock their heroic potential using the power of living gamefully. Over 1 million people have played SuperBetter.

Ratings and Reviews
Gamify your life
This app gives us a way to enjoy getting good stuff done every day. I love it and I use it daily. It’s so much fun that I deleted my other real games.
Not tracking progress.
The app seems to not track progress. I am on the latest version, iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.2. When I activate a power up it still says 0/3 even though I have restarted the app and tried activating it a few times. Actions I took last week, in my activity feed say we're done a year ago. And things I have activated say "never done" in my To Do even though when I open it it says done x number of times. I want to use it but it's broken. Has been like this for a year with no fix.
ios app = bad user experience
I love the concept, but was turned off by the bad user interface, lack of usability, and no help after contacting support.
If you’re going to release an app, make it work.
