SuperBetter is at heart a simple and transformative idea – we can use the same strengths we naturally display in game play to confront real-life challenges, build skills for success, and practice self-care.

SuperBetter uses the psychology of game play in all of life. Playing SuperBetter means bringing a gameful mindset to real-life obstacles - 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 an empowering framework for becoming stronger, happier, braver and more resilient in everyday life.

Invented by researcher and game designer Jane McGonigal, SuperBetter is 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.

The SuperBetter app brings the 7 gameful rules to life. It makes it easy 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 and everyone who wants to unlock their heroic potential by using the power of living gamefully. Over 1 million people have played SuperBetter.
