What is Champions of the Shengha?
Champions of the Shengha is a new type of game. Players have to master their magic power - generated by staying focused under pressure - in order to win.
It trains players to focus their mind through regulated breathing techniques and gives them the skills to manage their frustrations, both in and beyond the game.
It’s played with our patent pending Magic Transmitter (a wearable heart rate sensor) which measures player’s magic power, or heart rate variability, and integrates this into gameplay.
Kids love this award-winning collectable card game in which they compete against each other in magical duels, collect spells and move up ranks to become Champion of the Shengha.
How does the game train players to focus, perform and thrive?
Champions of the Shengha is a new type of game where players have to master their magical power to win, training players to focus their mind and manage their frustrations. It uses a heart rate variability sensor and genuinely responds to player’s emotional state, making staying calm a core part of gameplay.
Throughout the game, players are encouraged to practice regulated diaphragmatic breathing (which brings them into a more focused state), in order to increase their magic powers and earn points to defeat their opponent.
The game trains players in skills to help them focus, perform and thrive - both in the game and beyond.
What is the scientific basis for the game?
