Successfully applying strategies helps players move toward the escape route before anger reaches the top. The player who escapes the mountain wins.

What ages is this for?

Escape from Anger Mountain is designed for ages 6 and up. The game mechanics are accessible to younger elementary-age children while remaining engaging for older kids and teens. It is used in therapy with children and adolescents across a wide age range.

What coping strategies does it teach?

The game covers a range of evidence-based anger management and emotional regulation strategies, including deep breathing, positive self-talk, physical movement, cognitive reframing, and calming techniques. All strategies are grounded in psychological research and presented in age-appropriate language.

Can it be used in therapy to teach anger management?

Yes. Escape from Anger Mountain was developed with clinical use in mind and is used by therapists, school counselors, and social workers in individual and group sessions.
