"I’ve used meditation apps, which are… nice. But Betwixt picks you up, transports you somewhere, shows you something you weren’t expecting, checks you’re ok with that, and then brings you back home."
A mindful escape
Replace addictive scrolling with mindful entertainment. Step away from the grind to roam free, nourish your creativity and keep your spark alive.

Elitsa
Dermendzhiyska
Elitsa Dermendzhiyska is a science writer and social entrepreneur working at the intersection of technology, research and mental health.
At 25, she left her software business and spent a year talking to young people, researchers, nurses, psychotherapists, philosophers, artists and others to study mental health from many different perspectives.
That’s how she discovered the power of games and set out to explore how they can be used for good.
Betwixt was born out of a deep collaboration between cognitive hypnotherapist Hazel Gale, science writer Elitsa Dermendzhiyska and a number of distinguished collaborators.
The story of Betwixt was co-written by 2018 world fantasy award-winning author and game designer Natalia Theodoridou.
Our advisors include Dr Hanneke Scholten at the Games for Emotional and Mental Health Lab; Dr Sachin Shah and Dr Stephen Kaar (Royal College of Psychiatrists); AI creativity scholar Dr Sarah Bowdoin, and others.
