We’re turning the tables on screen addiction

It’s no wonder kids love screens. Social media and apps are purposefully designed for addiction. But what if you could take those same concepts and use them to flip the script? That’s exactly what DOcurious does!

Gamification

Our goal-oriented challenges give kids the same things they love online — points, rewards, quests, team chats — but we give it to them in the real world. There, they can have meaningful, safe experiences that build confidence, inspire creativity, and set them up to be healthy, thriving adults in the years ahead.

Human connection

Kids love to chat online, but they — and you — can’t really know who they’re engaging with. That’s scary. DOcurious lets you create groups for family and friends so your kids can build healthy connections completing challenges in person with real friends in the real world.

Room to grow

We have challenges for every age, from toddlers to teens through adults. When your family signs up for DOcurious, you’re setting a healthier habit that you know will grow with your kids.

We’re putting positive psychology to work for kids

Research has shown us the dangers of too much screen time. It’s also given us some clues about how to get kids healthy and happy again!
We’ve designed our goal-oriented challenges based on the tenets of positive psychology and self-determination theory so that they’re not just fun — they’re fortifying!  Specifically, we focus on challenges that provide three key elements for human happiness:
Autonomy
Gain a sense of initiative and ownership over your own actions.
Competence
Feel confident that you can succeed and grow. 
Relatedness
Experience a sense of belonging and connection.
