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 and more resilient in everyday life.

Invented by researcher and game designer Jane McGonigal, SuperBetter is backed by science. In a randomised controlled trial at University of Pennsylvania playing SuperBetter for 30 days was associated with significant improvements in mental health and resilience.
