How Dragon Mind Works
A game-based approach to building emotional resilience through proven REBT principles
Adventure That Builds Inner Strength
Students embark on a classic hero's journey - complete with dragons, allies, and epic battles - while unknowingly developing rational thinking skills and emotional resilience.
Pure Gaming Experience
To students, it's just an engaging adventure game. The therapeutic elements are woven seamlessly into gameplay, not presented as lessons.
Choice-Driven Learning
Every decision shapes beliefs about the world. Players choose thoughts, behaviours, and dialogue responses that can be rational or extreme.
Rewarded Rationality
Rational choices unlock allies, coins, and powerful items. Extreme responses limit progress, naturally encouraging flexible thinking.
How Choices Shape Character
60% - Thought & Action Choices
Most NPCs present situations where players choose both their thoughts and resulting behaviours. This builds the connection between thinking patterns and actions.
40% - Dialogue Responses
Other interactions focus on choosing what to say, teaching players how communication style affects relationships and outcomes.
The Reward System
Rational Choices = Allies
Choose flexible, balanced responses and NPCs become powerful allies in your quest.
Earn Coins & Items
Positive responses unlock currency for weapons, armor, and special items.
Progress Through Challenges
Extreme thinking limits progress, while flexible thinking opens new paths and opportunities.
Guided Discovery & Application
The magic happens in the reflection sessions between gameplay, where teachers help students connect their in-game choices to real-world situations.
1. Goal Setting Session
Teacher and student collaborate to identify what they want to achieve. This creates personal investment and clear objectives for the gaming experience.
Collaborative Planning
Students feel ownership of their learning journey
Pure Gaming
20-minute focused play sessions
2. Gameplay Sessions
Students play 20-minute sessions, making choices and experiencing consequences. The game tracks every decision for later analysis and reflection.
3. Reflection & Application
After each session, teacher and student discuss choices made in-game and create "if-then" plans for real situations. This bridges gaming and real-world application.
