About Citizen Science

How playing Sea Hero Quest contributes to scientific research into dementia and other issues.

Independent research into brain health

We are an independent company, supporting research into brain health. Sea Hero Quest is a citizen science project where your gameplay generates real scientific data that researchers use to better understand spatial navigation and its link to cognitive decline.

Building on the world's largest navigation study

We are building on the world's largest navigation study, by adding longitudinal data, with new data metrics and cognitive tasks that are fun and accessible. This means every time you play, you're contributing to a growing dataset that helps researchers track how navigation ability changes over time.

Your contribution matters

Your contribution is your time playing, and for subscribers, you're financially supporting research projects across multiple institutions worldwide. Every game session adds valuable data points that help scientists understand the early signs of cognitive change.
