Mightier Vocabulary
Mightier, just like other video games, has its own unique world full of characters, games, and language. Here are some helpful tips and tricks to help you get to know Mightier.
The Gizmo
The Gizmo: Showing the player’s heart rate in 3 different stages
-
Blue, a low heart rate
-
Grey, a changing heart rate- increasing or decreasing
-
Red, a high heart rate
-
Blue, a low heart rate
-
Grey, a changing heart rate- increasing or decreasing
-
Red, a high heart rate
Clicking on the Gizmo pauses the game and allows the player time to regulate before continuing.
The gizmo helps provide a visual for their heart rate and becomes the player’s tool to develop self-regulation skills for successful gameplay.
Getting in the red
Experiencing a heightened heart rate and the emotions connected to it. This indicates feelings of anxiety, excitement, frustration, or anger.
Getting in the blue
Cooling down after being out of the red zone. This is an indicator that your child has been able to successfully recover from a high heart rate. Parents often use this term to describe a nice calming down moment.
Lavalings: creatures that react to a player’s increased heart rate.
When a player goes into the Red, the Lavalings will make the game more difficult to play.
Lavalings all have their own unique personalities. For example, Diego doesn’t have an inside voice. Players can collect different Lavalings in different worlds. Players can look at their Lavalings in their Lavaling Collection Book.

Mightier’s story and gameplay
In Mightier, Dr. Dragon travels across different worlds in search of Lavalings.
Players help her collect Lavalings by getting them to their cool state.
Each Lavaling has Heat Points (HP). Players will need to get their heart rate back
into their blue zone to use their Chill Points to cool the Lavalings’ HP.
Players build strength represented by Chill Points by playing different games, earning Snowflakes along the way. Snowflakes increase the amount of Chill Points players have. The more Chill Points they gain, the quicker they’ll be able to cool the Lavalings they catch.
Keys
Keys unlock new games on Mightier. Players earn keys by playing Mightier games consistently.
Snowflake
Players earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold Snowflakes the longer they play the games. Each time they earn a Snowflake, they increase Chill Points.
Heat Points (HP) (Left)
Each Lavaling has a certain number of Heat Points, or HP. As players explore Mightier, they’ll encounter Lavalings that have higher and higher HP. In order to cool Lavalings down, players will need to increase their Chill Points.
Chill Points (Right)
Points earned by completing games and collecting snowflakes. They’re used to cool down Lavalings.
