Questions and answers
Is Mind Wonders free?
Yes. You can start playing right away, without an account. Signing up is free and keeps your progress, and PRO is optional.
Who is it for?
For anyone curious about why people do what they do, from teens to grandparents. No psychology background needed: every idea is shown, not lectured.
How long does a lesson take?
About three minutes: a few interactive slides and a quick test.
Is there an app?
Yes. Mind Wonders is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and your account works in both places.
Which languages can I play in?
English, Spanish for Spain and Latin America, French, German and Italian. The whole game switches, lessons included.
Is it based on real science?
Yes. Every lesson starts from published research and is checked against its sources. When the evidence is mixed, the lesson tells you, and the myth lessons test popular beliefs against what studies really found.
Is this therapy?
No. Mind Wonders teaches how minds and people work, from real research. It's not a diagnosis, therapy or a substitute for professional help, and it won't make you a mind reader: it shows you what signals can and can't tell you.
