After 8 weeks and 4000 trials, participants still enjoyed the game!

"People trained for 10 minutes on the game, four times a week for 8 weeks. Overall, participants completed around 4,000 trials in total—and reported that they still enjoyed the game."

It's been invaluable for my research

"Gorilla helped me to design and develop a game that tests children's cognitive abilities. This has been invaluable for my research. It’s so easy to navigate, particularly for somebody who came to the platform with no prior experience! Any issues you have the team are always willing to support you. It's great!"
