What it’s all about
The Good Cards is the first game in the world where in real life people achieve good deed missions towards collective goals. How do the missions work? Think of yourself as an anonymous person that’s on a positive mission to do good for others. There are even missions where you will be kind to yourself, the most important person of all. The overall purpose of each mission is to motivate users to do good again and again.
Research found that reflecting on your past good deeds makes you feel selfless and makes you want to help others again. Each mission has a time frame and if completed within the time frame you will receive a reward for being awesomely good and kind. Every good deed that is accomplished on your mission will help towards the collective goal, the bigger picture of happiness and kindness. Studies show when people engage in kind acts they become happier overtime. Every good deed that is accomplished on your mission will help towards the collective goal, the bigger picture of happiness and kindness.
