We're the Good Guys in the Game of Feelings.
Most apps want your kids addicted. We just want them to be happy, resilient, and ready for the real world.
The "Glitch" in Modern Games
Many "free" games are actually traps. They use Dark Patterns designed by psychologists to keep kids hooked, anxious, and begging for micro-transactions.
- Infinite Scrolling (No stopping cues)
- Loot Boxes (Gambling mechanics)
- Fake Urgency ('Act now!')
- Selling Data to Advertisers
Brain-Building, Not Brain-Draining
We don't just distract kids; we equip them. Our games are built on proven frameworks like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and SEL (Social Emotional Learning).
Self-Awareness
Naming feelings to tame them.
Regulation
Tools to calm down fast.
The Evidence Locker 📂
This isn't just a game. It's a digital therapeutic intervention disguised as fun. Here is the psychology under the hood.
Neuroplasticity
The Concept: The brain is like a muscle. It changes based on what you do repeatedly.
Our Application: We use "spaced repetition" in our mini-games. By practicing calm breathing *before* a crisis, we build a neural pathway that makes regulation automatic when stress hits.
CBT Framework
The Concept: Thoughts create Feelings, which create Actions.
Our Application: In "Balloon Breath," kids physically pop "Outcome Balloons." They learn to catch negative thoughts (the pop) and replace them, gamifying the core tenet of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Graded Exposure
The Concept: Facing fears in small, safe steps reduces anxiety over time.
Our Application: Levels get slightly harder, introducing "stressors" (time limits, distractions) only after the child has mastered the calm. It's safety-first resilience training.
