SuperBetter uses the psychology of game play to overcome obstacles in all of life. By following 7 gameful rules, SuperBetter players bring a challenge mindset to everyday life – they adopt a secret identity, activate power-ups, battle bad guys, complete quests, and check-in with allies as they go for their epic wins. Players develop new skills, track their gameful strengths, and build their whole-person resilience - mental, social, emotional & physical.

Invented by researcher and game designer Jane McGonigal, the SuperBetter methodology is evidence-based and backed by science. In a randomized controlled trial at the University of Pennsylvania, playing SuperBetter for 30 days was associated with significant improvements in mental health and resilience. Over 1 million people have played SuperBetter.
