To get started, players take on a “secret identity,” like Jane McGonigal’s “Jane the Concussion Slayer.” They can connect with other players and interact, give each other support, and build social resilience.
The game encourages users to go on “quests” to boost their physical, mental, and emotional coping mechanisms. Players can earn “power ups” by drinking a full glass of water or beat a “bad guy” by taking a walk around the block. SuperBetter is a phenomenon that meets you wherever you’re at in your recovery journey, which is why so many people find it to be so useful.
Check out Jane McGonigal’s TED talk to – literally – add seven and a half minutes to your life right now by playing SuperBetter.
