Science of Mental Breaks

Short, targeted mental breaks have been shown to improve cognitive function and productivity. Here's how our games help refresh your brain:

Attention Restoration

The directed attention required by our games helps reset cognitive resources that become depleted during focused work sessions.

Dopamine Release

The achievement-based gameplay triggers mild dopamine release, improving mood and motivation for returning to work tasks.

Context Switching

Engaging in a completely different task allows your subconscious to continue processing work problems in the background.
