"MindLight: New Android Neurofeedback Game with Horror Survival Theme"

A haunted mansion, shadowy creatures, and a quest to rescue your grandmother might seem like just another spooky adventure game. Yet MindLight goes beyond entertainment. Developed by PlayNice, this action-adventure title genuinely helps children manage stress and anxiety through biofeedback technology.

What exactly is biofeedback? It’s a mind-body therapy designed to enhance both physical well-being and mental health. Consequently, your emotional state directly influences the gameplay. When you remain calm, the dark mansion illuminates; when anxiety rises, it remains shadowy and eerie.

MindLight Is More Than Just A Game

Co-developed by Dr. Isabela Granic—PlayNice’s co-founder and lead scientist behind multiple randomized control trials involving over a thousand children—this game has proven its efficacy. During these trials, researchers discovered that kids who played MindLight reduced their anxiety levels by at least 50%.

The premise is straightforward: you play as a child exploring your grandmother’s mansion, which has been consumed by shadows. Using a headset, the game monitors your brainwaves or heart rate in real-time. The light guides you through the estate and helps banish frightening creatures.

Although primarily tested with children aged 8 to 12, PlayNice reports that older kids and parents also enjoy the experience. Because the game adapts dynamically to each player’s unique stress response, it remains personal and engaging regardless of who is playing.

Two Subscription Options Available

To begin your MindLight journey, you’ll need two essentials for yourself or your child: the Neurosky MindWave 2 EEG headset and a subscription to the software. PlayNice offers two plans—one tailored for individual children and another designed for families with up to five players.

You can download MindLight from the Google Play Store. It is also available on Amazon, the App Store, and directly through PlayNice’s official website.
