Description
Do you want to help scientists uncover the secrets to happiness? Play games for science!
Play fun mini-games to help brain scientists study the psychology and neuroscience of well-being!
Created by scientists at UCL and Yale, this app is a citizen science project taking psychology and neuroscience experiments from the lab to your smartphone.
Every 3-minute game that you finish contributes data to real scientific research about how the brain works. The anonymous surveys help us see what causes well-being and understand mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. Be part of a unique citizen science experiment and help us write the equation for happiness!
Dr Robb Rutledge (Yale Psychology) says: "We all want to know what determines happiness. It’s hard to figure it out! In our games, we ask people about their happiness as they make decisions in different situations. We hope people enjoy our app and help us answer some really important scientific questions!"
This citizen science project was supported by the UK Medical Research Council.

Ratings and Reviews
Games for science
Interesting games, teaching you about the science behind them as well makes it even more enjoyable. Nice to think it will help improve the scientific understanding of well-being to help people enjoy their lives more.
Brilliant, subtle design
It looked like a fairly amateurish game app at first, but in fact it works really well. Great design, QA, and well proved.
Interesting project
The games are well constructed and the questions seem relevent. All the best
