"Embark" on quests, then pass or fail
In a real game, it is possible to embark on a quest, be on it for a period of time, and then fail. I cannot help but think we should be allowed to flag that we've started quest and then be able to input whether we succeeded or failed at it.
For example. Perhaps I am a workaholic and have a quest to get up and go eat something. I can't really push "I did this" until I've left. I want to interact with superbetter, to establish that I am currently on a mission to get off this chair in…

Order our power-ups and quests lists ourselves.
It would be great if we could arrange our power-ups and quests in our own chosen order. This would help me keep track of them all better, as the lists are getting quite long and I've only been playing a few weeks!

Super Teams -- User ally groupings
I noticed there are lots of folks in the ally forum talking about the same issues, and volunteering to be each other's allies. For those like me who are a little less likely to stick our neck out, but still could use the help of other people's wisdom, maybe informal groups or clubs could be formed that, say, deal with similar issues, or similar epic wins, or hobbies. That's a super way to get social resilience, and a lot easier than committing to one-on-one help with a stranger!
Groups could, for instance, not only discuss the kinds of issues they…

Video Game?
I don't play video games, but the TED talk I saw about SuperBetter made me want to play. The beautiful illustrations on your site get at what an actual video game could provide: visuals of getting better, overcoming "bad guys"/obstacles,being helped by friends,changing reactions. A video game would allow interaction in this visual world, and maybe the virtual success that some would achieve there would help in real life. I am hoping that this will be your next step. People who are depressed and anxious could benefit from a video game that allows them, through an avatar, to see…

What about people who don't speak English?
I met SuperBetter a few days ago and I think it's awesome! Since English is only my second language I immediately thought about people who don't speak English but would appreciate the help SuperBetter can give.
For a start, I would be more than happy to translate the site into my mother language, Hungarian, absolutely free of course. (I've been studying translation at university for a year now, so I have some experience as well.)
I'm sure people with other mother languages would gladly do the same, and adding some more languages to SuperBetter would not only be beneficial to…

Call to Arms for Bad Guy Battles in Progress
While many of my bad guy battles have been short, I feel like I'm facing a particularly long bout with one right now. I would love a way to mark a Bad Guy as a current "level Boss" or something and have it shoot out a message to my allies saying I might need help.

Add Ability to Make Epic Wins SMART
In the Epic Win section of the website, it's not very convenient to create and record SMART (i.e. specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound) goals, particularly the measurable and time-bound parts, which are missing completely. Also, the ability to see our previously achieved epic wins could help build momentum, similar to Jerry Seinfeld's streak tracking.
Adding this would be awesomely helpful!

Add getting SuperBetter from an abusive relationship
I am getting out of an abusive relationship and was surprised that it did not come up as a potential SB goal or seem to have an affiliated PowerPack. I decided to use "Will power" as my goal and am customizing my Bad Guys and Power Ups, but thought that having an official SB category would give survivors of abuse a sense of validation, that it is something worth getting SuperBetter from. I'm getting SuperBetter from my parents, others from a lover or spouse, still others from a sibling or close friendship. It takes reminders every day and professional …

add a note space to the battle page
When battling bad guys it would help if there was a space to add a note on the pop up page where we choose the outcome and difficulty of the battle. Some bad guys, such as The Coping Cactus, have multiple aspects. I'd like to be able to look back and see if I took care of my space, my hygine, or something else.

Multiple categories for a Quest
Some Quests encompass all categories, not just one. Maybe be able to choose top two would help.

Android app (willing to offer my help on free trial terms)
I really really want there to be a mobile app for Android. I am willing to spend some amount of time on it for free (and will sign an NDA if you require), and if you are happy with the results, would like to talk about possibility of working remotely on the project.

Mentor - Feedback on use of SuperBetter
As a SuperBetter user, I could choose an option to solicit the help of a SuperBetter mentor to help evaluate my profile and activities. This person could make suggestions as to what I could add, as well as provide encouragement. The idea would be to have some insights on how well I am using the site and find out if I am missing out on any opportunities. This mentor would go above and beyond the Allies in that they would bring in some specific expertise and best practices on using Superbetter.

Allow coaches to suggest or assign quests, bad guys, allies, etc. for players.
In addition to Allies consider creating a social role for Coach (Dungeon Masters). These Coaches would be able to assign quests and power packs to the players game narrative. Maybe under profile there could be a check box; [X] Become a Coach. Coaches would be able to add content, provide feedback, and check in with their players. Players should be able to have multiple coaches.
My initial thought is that a Coach could build and implement programs for family members. Then I thought of physicians, counselors, clergy, HR departments, life coaches, sport coaches, etc. Anyone who can lead others to…

More inclusion of mental health issues in PowerPacks and throughout the site.
I do love super better, and Id love to recommend it to more people online. I think it has work it can do to further establish itself.
I'm sure you're aware that there are numerous online communities, Tumbl being one, where people often anonymously discuss their issues and some aim to offer support and recover, but far too often the circulation of negative thinking is damaging to the whole community.
SuperBetter has the positive vibe and motivation needed to provide a helpful tool, and supportive community for those looking to recover.Issues in particular I think could have some…

Add milestones - goals to achieve before your epic win
I prefer to keep my "epic win" as a longer term goal (so I don't have to re-create quests, power-ups, etc. that I customize), but to set milestones along the way... shorter goals to achieve toward the epic win. This would fall between a quest and an epic win.

Activities for bad day
Hi and felicitation for this tool; it's very helpful especially the science cards. May I suggest an addition to assist in the depression battle? Depression presents himself with some good and bad days and so the strategies to go through those days are different. It would be great to have a "bad day button" that would help you to accept those down moments and propose a more gentle approach. This could offer some reminders that things will get better, suggest tricks to "ride the sad wave" and even notify your allies that your or having a bad day. In…

Increase in sex drive or intimacy Powerpack
Women and men experience decreases in their sex drives throughout their lives. Sometimes its just the natural rhythm of things- sometimes its due to depression, or medication or fear. This doesn't have to be dirty or pornographic- just a pack to help boost confidence of the individual's body as a sexual thing, and to help rebuild that part of someone's life. Sex is a great healer and is beneficial (if done healthily) to many disorders.

Use Super Better to help people experiencing the pain of divorce
I just saw and enjoyed Jane McGonigal's Ted talk. I wonder whether the Super Better game might be used by people experiencing the emotional trauma and loss of divorce to ease their pain and faciliate their transition to a better future.

Getting Started should be easier, especially for the non-gamers amongst us.
Isn't that part of the idea, to recruit more gamers, to solve big problems. ;-)
Really, I get there is learning to be had by exploring, but if someone wants to be walked through getting started in making us and the world better, an offer to do a little more hand holding would help a lot more people get stated. KISS for the brave newbies.
