The REThink Game

REThink is the therapeutic game that uses psychological science to help youths find their superhero emotional strengths!

Given that mental health in youths is a serious problem worldwide, REThink game offers an accessible, attractive, and effective means to the prevention of emotional disorders in youths.

The first version of the game was developed to work on mobile devices. We have tested the efficacy of the REThink therapeutic video game in a randomised clinical trial which showed that it brings significant improvements in the depressive moods of youths, in their emotion-regulation abilities and their cognitions.

Based on the REThinkWELL grant (PN-III-P2-2.1-PED-2019-3837) and the REThink Emotions grant (PCE 136 ⁄ 2021-2023), the video game is currently refined and extended on all mobile devices (not only IOS) and tested in a precision medicine framework.

How to play?

The game is based on 7 levels, each one created to help players achieve a unique skill to help them restore the bright mind on Earth. The first level will train them in how to read humans’ emotions and understand what feelings people have. Then they will set off to a territory where they can learn to relax and be mindful of their surroundings. Their third mission is getting to know and cultivate the good thoughts as well as challenge the bad ones. After they have conquered these challenges, they have the chance to change negative thoughts into good thoughts.

To achieve the 5th key, the players first need to solve a problem. Even in the dark times of the Irrationalizer, there are still positive emotions. Players need to find them and they’ll be closer to saving the Earth. Through the training of the bright mind, the Irrationalizer has gone into hiding. It’s time to challenge him and restore happiness and the bright mind once again.
RETMAN is there to guide them, so they should listen closely and they will find the key to save the planet from the Irrationalizer.
