SmileCatcher


SmileCatcher is a game to be played solely or in groups that attempts to increase happiness. Previous research has shown that smiling correlates directly to happiness and can even produce happiness in a person. A user playing the game tries to collect as many smiles from people they interact with during a set period of time. In single player mode, the user compares their scores over subsequent days while multiple players compare their scores over a set period of time to other players. The objective of the tool is to encourage positive social interactions through gamification.
