GameChanger

GameChanger is a game to train impulsivity control, stimulating a controlled response to gambling pictures and environments. It is intended to be used by gamblers who are starting to develop at-risk or problem gambling. How does it work? GameChanger consists of a sequence of gambling and non-gambling pictures that are shown one after the other. ​The purpose is to only click on non-gambling pictures as fast as possible and keep from clicking on gambling pictures. The game has different levels of difficulty, making it suitable for training continuously for a period of time. The result The software behind the game calculates how fast the respondent reacts to non-gambling pictures​ and how well the respondent keeps from touching the screen when gambling pictures are shown. It also registers how many non-gambling pictures are missed. ​Based on these data, GameChanger gives feedback to the respondent right away and provides insight into the development and earlier performance. ​
