This app is a great resource, targeting younger children who are struggling with mental health disorders and acknowledging their emotions.

It combines strategic gameplay with learning objectives. It offers immersive storytelling and challenges that develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking. The game excels in entertainment, making it highly appealing to students, but its academic value is moderate as its learning goals are more implicit than direct. This tool is best for supplementing traditional teaching with an engaging and interactive experience.

While the game’s bright design and easy mechanics offer a momentary escape that could support mental health, it ultimately lacks substance. There are no meaningful opportunities for players to practice problem-solving, empathy, or emotional growth. Its repetitive tasks and focus on in-app purchases detract from its potential as an engaging or educational resource. It’s suitable for short-term mental health breaks but doesn’t contribute significantly to learning or personal development.

I thought this was a very cute resource as a teaching tool. It gives tasks to complete to better mental health like going on a walk for 20 minutes. Some of the tasks do require movement and action, but I think they are all great suggestions or tasks to complete to get kids moving. They get to take care of their pets and receive points for completing the tasks and if they don't feel like moving around too much their tasks like meditating are available for completion. I feel we don't focus on mental health enough and the suggestion for a therapy also may open doors for kids going through this journey.
