The Psychology of Play, Explained

Welcome! I’m Ollie, a psychologist working in the video games industry with a passion for video games and behavioural science. I started Game Brain to bridge the gap between game design and human behaviour.

Why Game Brain?

Video games are more than entertainment—they tap into deep psychological mechanisms that influence motivation, learning, emotions, and social interactions. Here, we break down the science behind:

  • Why players keep coming back to certain games 🎯

  • The psychology of rewards, challenge, and mastery 🏆

  • How gaming impacts the brain and behavior 🧩
