Mightier helps children (ages 6 - 12) who struggle with their emotions. This includes kids who have a tough time with tantrums, feelings of frustration, anxiety, or even a diagnosis like ADHD.
Our program was developed by clinicians from Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School and is designed to create a fun and engaging way for kids to practice emotional regulation through play….and become Mightier!
Players wear a heart rate monitor while they play, which allows them to see their emotions and connect with them directly. As they play, your child reacts to their heart rate. As their heart rates go up, the game gets harder to play and they practice how to bring their heart rate down (take a pause) in order to earn rewards in the games. Over time and with routine practice/play, this creates “Mightier moments” where your child breathes, pauses, or uses one of their practiced cool down strategies automatically when facing real world challenges.
Mightier includes:
A WORLD OF GAMES
Over 25 games on the platform and 6 worlds to conquer, so your child will never get bored!
THE GIZMO
Your child’s visual representation of their heart rate. This will allow them to see their emotions and connect with them directly. Gizmo will also teach your child emotional management skills when they find themselves in extreme duress.
LAVALINGS
Collectable creatures that represent big emotions. These will help your child connect with their range of emotions in a fun, new way.
PLUS…..for Parents
● An online hub to access a dashboard of your child’s progress
● Customer support from licensed clinicians
● Tools and resources to help navigate your Mightier parenting journey.

I am a 14 year old girl and I love MIGHTIER. But there are a few suggestions that I have. 1. You should put a pair of overalls [that aren’t shorts] in the clothing shop 2. You should put a MIGHTIER hoodie is the clothing shop Overall this is a great game. My favorite mini game is ROOMS OF DOOM. -ADHD in AK
Pls help for children with iPads
I’m a child and I can’t really do this because when I try to login it just can’t that’s why I gave it a bad rating!
VERY lacking in everything
NOTE!! This app ONLY works if you’ve gone to their website and ordered their subscription/kit. If you don’t have this already, don’t download this game and expect to play it. It will not work.
Now, about the app and system themselves. The app is decent but the games are lacking. My almost 9 year old with ADHD seems to like the games and finds the little map portion fun but they’re very limited in what you can do. Don’t expect an overly complicated game with this. It’s definitely designed to get your heart rate up and then teach you how to lower it. The app itself can be a little complicated, however and definitely NOT straightforward. You will need help from an adult if the child does not know how to read. The heart rate monitor (band you get when you order the subscription) is FAIRLY responsive to changes in heart rate but it’s not instant. Also, the included tablet they send you is absolute garbage. Does NOT sync the band no matter what I try, however, it works fine on my iPad and iPhone so it’s clearly a tablet issue. The tablet also lags horribly so if you get the subscription, I recommend using your phone or iPad. Which is something I DID NOT want to do. I wanted a designated tablet just for this app to be used as a designated space to use as a training tool for my child.
Also, the arm band/heart rate monitor no longer shuts off. It’s just on forever and continues to blink until you put it on the charger. Which is frustrating, since you MUST have the charger on hand at all times, making this absolutely NOT portable. I realize this is more of an equipment issue and not this app itself, however, since you need the equipment to use the app, I feel they are synonymous.
Overall, if you’re reading this and considering purchasing a subscription, try it for a month before you go full out and buy a year because if I continue having issues with both the equipment and software, I definitely will not be continuing my subscription.
Great site for kids
The games are fun and the interface is kid-friendly. We’ve only been using Mightier for a few days, but so far it has been a big success for our family. Compared to most apps, this an expensive monthly service. But compared to the price of therapists and other professional services, this is a drop in the bucket. Hopefully the price will come down as more people subscribe so that more families and school systems can take advantage of the benefits of this app.
Outrageously expensive with little to show for it
Great idea in theory, but we didn’t see the skills encouraged in the game translate to real life. The tech is cumbersome and glitchy, not at all what you’d expect for the price. I feel like it’s shiny marketing but really just increased screen time for my ADHD kid - and more screens are the last thing he needs.
Can’t unsubscribe from this service
As far as I can tell, there’s no way to unsubscribe from this service once you sign up. There must be some way… but they sure are good at hiding it.
It’s not that good
Mostly I’m just getting angrier I like the game you must build a boat but at least make it where if you need a break should be a break button and be able to set it to 5-30min and turn off the gizmo and just play the games and add games like Minecraft or Roblox or Rec room as a reward being done for the day when you get the lavalings you need for the day the it turns off the gizmo and you can type the game you want to play and also for your break.
Can’t login
It doesn’t let u login it says wrong email but I never signed up yet
Internet issues
The app works on my iPhone but it won’t work on the tablet. It’s a pain to have to give my kid my phone to play the games
MY EXPERIENCE
DOWNS: this app can sometimes annoy me because whenever I GET OFF LIGHT BLUE IT BRINGS DOWN RED ( I noticed you are getting complains about the LOG IN) so reminder it’s a PAYING APP you pay and sign up online on a CHROME BOOK/PC/LAPTOP ADVANTAGES: I like how this is all video games, but these games are to hard to manage and I sometimes like all my games and they never come back! Enjoy the five stars and please IMPROVE
