Spoons: A Chronic Pain Game

Finally! A game that lets you experience life as someone with chronic pain trying to get through a to-do list. 😜😭

Coming Soon to the iOS App Store!

Spoons is a (free!) strategy game grounded (sorta) in spoon theory — Christine Miserandino’s metaphor for the limited daily energy of chronic illness. You manage a spoon budget against a to-do list that multiplies, mutates, and resists completion.

Spoons Tasks

The goal of Spoons is to complete all your tasks across a simulated week. Each task costs a certain number of spoons and you have a limited number of spoons each day. Unfinished tasks carry over from day to day. It’s no fun… but neither is chronic illness.

On the upside, this game costs you 0 spoons and 0 dollars.
