Traditional screening for ADHD and autism relies on long questionnaires and clinical tasks that few people enjoy - and many never finish.

Because every session is partnered and real-time, we measure something a solo questionnaire never can: the back-and-forth of human connection. And because everything runs in the browser, anyone with a link can take part - no downloads, no clinic visit, no barrier to entry.

We’re still early. This is the beginning of a long effort to make screening for ADHD & autism more accessible, more accurate, and a lot more human.

02 What guides us

Three principles behind every game

01

Games, not tests

Familiar multiplayer games stand in for clinical tasks - so screening feels like play, not an exam. Participants connect and have fun while the science happens quietly in the background.

02

Built for connection

Real-time, partnered sessions capture the social signals that matter most for ADHD and autism research - the back-and-forth that a solo questionnaire can never measure.

03

Accessible by design

As a clinical research tool, accessibility is a first-class value - legible type, clear contrast, and no downloads, so anyone with a browser can take part.
