Sea Hero Quest

Not just a game, but a quest to help scientists fight dementia, Sea Hero Quest has given us new understanding into how we navigate the world. And thanks to the data shared by Sea Hero Quest’s millions of users, we can better develop approaches to detect the navigational problems that people with dementia experience and pave the way to swifter diagnosis.

The game now lives on through Sea Hero Quest Research Edition, a password-accessed version of the game used by scientists around the world to drive more studies that will help answer the big questions in dementia and navigation. If you have a code to access this version, then you can make a powerful contribution to research by playing, and just 2 minutes of game time generates the equivalent of 5 hours of lab-based research data.

Sea Hero Quest was developed by GLITCHERS, presented by Deutsche Telekom and supported by scientists from University College London and University of East Anglia and Alzheimer’s Research UK.
