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.

Better than boom beach

Yes, I am addicted to the boom beach rewards. And here we are, another reward system I can ACTUALLY benefit from! I am starting the losing weight journey but I see all the next topics I can play with. Let’s unlock the next level

Brilliant idea but digital products needs improvement

I was invited in by a dear friend and was blown up by the whole concept: I loved it! Finally somebody made it fun and engaging to bite size your way to awesomeness together with trusted allies!

As soon I started my ally journey though I started getting a bit confused every now and then and also experiencing some unexpected glitches (mostly with the iOS app). As a seasoned experience designer I would so love to jam together and help this idea thrive and superheroes spring everywhere around the planet!

I wish they can rapidly make it up and address the key experience gaps soon enough - which will certainly prompt me to increase the number of stars here :)

Incredible concept but app needs work

The concept behind SuperBetter is simply incredible. Reaching out, getting stronger and more resilient - it’s something we could all benefit from in life. My only gripe is the app is very glitchy. I have difficulty managing allies and navigating the menus sometimes. With a bit of IT investment I think this could really take off!
