Welcome to the world of Mightier! We’re so excited for your family to begin playing! Let’s learn more about the characters and features in the Mightier app.
Gizmo is your child's friendly guide in the Mightier app. Gizmo will help your player navigate the world of Mightier and practice cooling down.
The Camp screen is where the adventure begins - be sure to check it out together! Players can tap the Game Library icon to browse our arcade.
The Daily Check-in helps players pause, reflect, and recognize the emotions they experience. When children learn to name their emotions, they build stronger self-awareness and coping skills - making it easier to manage big feelings in healthy ways.
How Mightier Works
The Mightier app is using heart rate as an indicator of regulation. Personalized zones are created for each player based on heart rate readings at the beginning and throughout gameplay. When a child's heart rate is in a calm state based on their resting heart rate, they will appear in the "blue zone" on Gizmo. When there is an increase in their heart rate, they will move into the "red zone" on Gizmo.
Once your child enters the red zone, the games become more difficult. An "inhibitor" is triggered in the specific game they are playing. This could be the timer speeding up, smoke covering the screen, or an inability to aim.
At this point, your child will be prompted and encouraged to bring their heart rate down. They can do so all on their own, or they can press Gizmo on the screen and follow along with one of Mightier's calming strategies. Upon returning to the blue, your child completes what we call a "cool-down". There is a celebration, and they’ll earn rewards from the system. They are encouraged to go through that process over and over again while playing and having fun!
Lavalings
Lavalings are fun, colorful creatures your child will collect as they play. Each Lavaling has its own unique personality, emotions, and strengths. Lavalings are Mightier’s way of providing encouragement and rewards to kids, while also communicating awareness, practice, and emotional control. Learn more about Lavalings here!
Snowflakes, Coins, and Medals
Players earn Snowflakes by completing cool-downs. Snowflakes are used to help cool down Lavalings. This is one of the many fun ways kids see their progress in Mightier!
Players can redeem Coins in Shops to buy new costumes and accessories for their Avatar.
As your child spends time in our arcade games and completes levels, they'll earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals. After that, they can keep collecting Gold Medals each time they play.

Mightier Adventures
Mightier Adventures is an exciting new way for kids to explore emotions and expand their coping skills toolbox. Your child will collect and evolve Animotes (creatures that channel emotional energy), defeat opponents with new coping skills, and solve emotion mysteries.
To begin an adventure quest, tap the glowing gate on the Camp screen.
During quests, players will encounter upset Animotes. Running into these creatures starts a turn-based card game where the goal is to calm them down and reach the exit gate. Your child's Animotes uses positive Skill Cards, while the upset Animotes use negative Skill Cards.
Completing these encounters earns your child's Animotes Experience Points (XP). After each encounter, your child can see their Animotes' levels and progress. As they continue to level up, they can evolve into even more powerful versions!
Players will also come across healing stations called Cool Pools. Players can tap a Cool Pool and finish a mini-game to earn a coin and heal their Animotes.
We want your family to succeed with Mightier. If you have any questions as you get started, please reach out to our Family Care Team. Happy playing!
