SuperMe is a new, on-line collection of video games designed, in the words of Alice Taylor, commissioning editor for UK’s Channel 4, “It’s about resilience: how to feel good when life chucks you lemons. How to be better at thinking positively. How to cope with (and learn to love) failure.”
I watched the promotional video, which talks about how the games are aimed at promoting happiness, and played one game. The game was fun, but I’m not too sure of the link between it and happiness. My skills in aiming a ball to hit a target allowed the regular categories of winning and losing, much like any video game. What did you think of the concept and the ability to promote happiness or resilience? Tell us in the comments.
