A haunted house, mysterious shadow creatures, and a mission to rescue your grandmother—this sounds like the setup for a typical spooky adventure game. But *MindLight* is anything but ordinary. Created by PlayNice, this unique action-adventure game is designed not just for entertainment, but to help children cope with stress and anxiety using the power of biofeedback.
What Is Biofeedback and How Does It Work in MindLight?
Biofeedback is a mind-body therapy technique that helps individuals improve their physical and mental well-being by gaining awareness of physiological functions. In *MindLight*, players' emotions become an integral part of gameplay. When you stay calm, the eerie mansion lights up, guiding your way. However, if you feel anxious or stressed, the environment remains dark and foreboding, making it harder to progress.
MindLight: More Than Just a Game
Co-developed by Dr. Isabela Granic—co-founder of PlayNice—the game was built on solid scientific research. As the lead scientist behind multiple randomized control trials involving over a thousand children, Dr. Granic helped demonstrate that kids who played *MindLight* experienced a significant reduction in anxiety levels, often by at least 50%.
The story is simple yet engaging: you play as a child entering your grandmother’s mansion, which has been overtaken by shadows. Using a compatible headset, the game monitors your brainwaves or heart rate in real time. The light emitted by your in-game tool responds to your emotional state, helping you explore the mansion and ward off menacing creatures lurking in the dark.
Although primarily tested with children aged 8 to 12, *MindLight* has proven enjoyable for older kids—and even parents. Thanks to its adaptive gameplay, the experience evolves based on each player's unique stress response, keeping it personal and engaging regardless of age.
Two Subscription Options to Choose From
To begin your journey in *MindLight*, you’ll need two essential components: a Neurosky MindWave 2 EEG headset and a game subscription. PlayNice offers two convenient subscription plans—one tailored for a single child, and another family plan supporting up to five players simultaneously.
You can download *MindLight* directly from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Amazon Store, or purchase it directly through [ttpp]’s official website.
