Improve mental health, resilience and social-emotional skills.
SuperBetter is at heart a simple and transformative idea – we can use the same strengths naturally displayed in game play to confront real-life challenges, build skills, manage stress & practice self-care.
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 & more resilient in everyday life.
Invented by researcher & game designer Jane McGonigal, SuperBetter is backed by science. In a randomized controlled trial at University of Pennsylvania playing SuperBetter for 30 days was associated with significant improvements in mental health and resilience.
The SuperBetter app makes it simple 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 & everyone who wants to unlock their heroic potential using the power of living gamefully. Over 1 million people have played SuperBetter.

Not mobile optimized?
I have the latest iPhone and the latest update of the app. For some reason this app looks like it’s meant for desktop or something, it’s not mobile optimized. I can’t read any of the task descriptions past the first line of text, because there is a blank page in front that has one tiny “I did this” button, and otherwise is just there to cover up the screen! Any value in the motivational text is completely lost if you can’t read it. That’s sorta the point of the app. I’m giving it some stars anyway though because it’s beautiful and free, and has the right idea if only someone had considered that some people might use an app on a phone.
Just started using app
Using this with my youth I support. Just getting to know how it all works🙂
Awesome!
Great app! Helps me get better in many ways!
WHERE IS THE HOT GIRL FROM THE COMMERCIAL
HAVE YOU COMMERCIAL FOR THIS🥵🥵🥵🥵BUT LIKE WHERE IS SHE
Great quick reminder system
I don’t need to think, when thinking is always a chore. Decisions are “premise”, less friction in the process means I have an easier time kickstarting, overcoming inertia.
Helped me a lot
Yes
Could be better
Superbetter is a great app if you want to get more motivated and have a healthier lifestyle but the quests are repetitive. It’s easy to use, relatable and efficient but it could work on the quests and how you can level up. The service is great and it’s a good bang for your buck. The design is eye catching colourful!
Add Future Boosts (pls) = 5 stars
All this app needs
Set goals get better
Now with friends! The super hero thing helps stay motivated
Buggy
Stuck on the set up. Drop down menus not working and can’t progress. Very disappointed
