Merrier: Stress and Anxiety Game is an app that aims to improve overall confidence, mindfulness, and to assist in handling and overcoming stress and anxiety. The app has a game-like approach to therapy, offering four different “path” options: Overcome Anxiety, Live Healthier, Relaxation, and Mood Boosters. Each path offers different quests for the user to conquer. After the user has completed at least three quests, the app provides a chart that provides a visual representation of the users confidence level in each of the three areas of focus. There is also a Library feature, where users an learn about anxiety, and a Sound Den, which provides calming sounds.
