The Dragon Game is a special version of the game-like assessment, i.e., BrainPac, for the BooStRaP project, which is a pioneering Europe-wide study to address and reduce the risks of harmful internet use among teenagers. This application is part of the Assessment team (Working Package 2) of the BooStRaP study (https://www.internetandme.eu/work-package-2/) There are two separate games included in the Dragon Game, one is a dragon theme Stop-Signal Test to measure the reaction speed and inhibitory control, and the other is a soccer theme test to measure reward and reversal learning. The in-game performance will be accessed by researchers from the BootStRaP project, including the University of Hertfordshire, Ulm University, Queensland Institute of Medical Researchโฆ Please note this application is only available for participants and researchers from the BootStRaP project, through a deep link from the project's official APP, BootstrAPP. However, by default you can play a short version of the dragon game if accessed normally.

Oh no! Santa's wrapping machines are broken. All presents are flying everywhere and you have to help to make sure they get to the right place quickly. But... Just your speed is not enough. This fun game contains powerups you can earn or buy. With the Helping Hands, Quick Fix, Extra Time and Double Dunk, you can sort the presents faster and easier. And that's needed, because you have to complete your assignment in time. Finally. Watch out for the candy crush. It might cause you to have to start all over again. The levels start off easy and get harder as you go along. As the game progresses, it takes more speed, agility, powerups and patience to finish... For the youngest players, it is possible to switch off the race against time. Enjoy the game!
