I just read about this cool study from a big university. They looked at how playing a game where you clean stuff digitally might make you feel better. The game is all about using a power washer to clean things.
The researchers found that most people who played it felt a bit happier afterward. It’s not a huge change, but it’s interesting, right?
Have any of you tried games like this? Do you think doing virtual chores could actually improve your mood? I’m curious to hear what you all think about this idea.
Maybe there’s something satisfying about seeing things get clean, even if it’s just on a screen. What do you reckon?
Totally get what you mean about cleaning games. I’ve played a few and they’re surprisingly chill. Unpacking is another good one - sorting stuff into a new house is weirdly zen. Not my usual type of game but it’s a nice break sometimes.
I’ve played PowerWash Simulator and it’s weirdly addictive. There’s something really satisfying about blasting away dirt and grime, even if it’s just virtual. I can see how it might boost your mood a bit.
It’s not exactly thrilling gameplay, but it’s a nice change of pace from intense competitive games. Sometimes you just want to zone out and do something mindless, you know?
I’ve messed around with House Flipper a bit. It’s pretty chill cleaning up virtual houses and decorating them. Kinda scratches that cleaning itch without actually having to do chores. Not surprised it could boost mood a little.
