PLAY, EXPLORE AND GROW: TREASURE HUNTS FOR CURIOUS MINDS
Test your reasoning, trick your mind, experience adventure and discover more about yourself in the era of information overload.
Hands-on
Have a go and experiment, just like a kid, without a fear of being judged.
Science-based
Become the one who always pulls out fascinating mind facts and hacks.
Social
Spend quality time with friends or fellow students while playing a game.
How does it work?
Outdoor treasure hunts
Players are navigated by a mobile app along a trail outdoors. Throughout the adventure, they find quests that must be fulfilled before the app tells them where to go next.
Challenge your reasoning
Do you have what it takes to become a secret agent? Discover common reasoning pitfalls and surprising ways in which our mind can mislead us.
Each game sets out an adventurous (but friendly ;)) story in which players test their cognitive biases and reasoning, with the goal to promote skills needed in the current era of information overload.
Level up your cognitive superpowers
Technology, AI, social media, versus productive learning and wellbeing.
How do we tend to consume information nowadays and what makes social media so irresistible? What are some biases that the technology can exploit against us? What do we choose to believe? And how to be smart about it?
Harness game learnings into clearer thinking and better decision making in your everyday life.
