Play a survival adventure with a purpose! Go on an exciting treasure hunt while being challenged by gameplay principles based on neuroscience and cognitive therapy. This is the ad-free version of the innovative game.

Take control of multiple characters, from a die-hard group of explorers, who find themselves stranded on the mysterious and remote Bell Island. Play through several addictive mini-games, exploring the island and finding gold artifacts. Using intuitive gameplay to evaluate and gradually challenge a variety of cognitive functions, Treasure of Bell Island is the perfect game to test your brain skills and be a part in the next step in braincentric gaming (neurogaming).

Developed by neuroscientists for the Dept. of Defense, the Treasure of Bell Island was created as an entertaining alternative to traditional rehabilitation for returning service members to work through their cognitive challenges. Now we offer this game to the public as a fun and valuable way to promote brain vitality.

As the game progresses, the player will move through a suite of brain-stimulating mini-games to uncover the secrets (and treasures) that Bell Island holds for them. These compelling mini-games challenge the player’s brain, while also tracking their progress. If you are interested in the tools that a healthcare professional can use to monitor and enhance the game (which create a truly rewarding experience) please contact Blue Marble Game Co.
