Description

Happy Haven is the first game that is scientifically proven to make people happier.

Can you replace the lifeless desert with a flourishing oasis? Complete challenges, connect with others and work together to create your own Happy Haven.
The creator of the game conducted a real research study, measuring players' happiness before and after playing the game.

The statistical analysis that followed showed significant improvements in players' happiness, making Happy Haven the first game that is scientifically proven to make people happier!

In Happy Haven, players cooperate to complete tasks from 5 different categories of cards. All cards are shuffled, and players flip the top card and complete the task on the card. Tasks include a mix of group challenges and conversation prompts. Once tasks are completed, the card is placed face down on the board in the correct slot based on its category.

The back of the cards on the board slowly create the image of a thriving oasis in the desert. If players cooperatively complete the oasis before they fail two blue cards, the group wins!
