Treasure Hunt - a cognitive-behavioral computer game

Welcome!

Treasure Hunt is a therapeutic video game based on principles of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). It was developed by Veronika Brezinka at the Center for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Zurich University to support psychotherapists in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of children between the ages of nine and 13.

Treasure Hunt is not a self-help game and, therefore, should not be available to children unless they are in psychotherapeutic treatment. The full benefit of a psychotherapeutic game can be realized only if this game is used with the guidance of a therapist.

In order to spread this innovative form of support for child psychotherapy, the University of Zurich has decided to give therapists free access to Treasure Hunt. We hope that users and friends will provide donations to finance the website and to support the development of new versions of the game.
