CoCollectors app for iPhone and iPad

CoCollectors is a foraging game for studying how children select partners for collaboration in situations where the behavioral traits of potential partners could be inferred from observations and the choice of a partner could directly influence children’s success in the game. In the game, kobos collect berries and can potentially collaborate with each other. The game is customizable by the researchers, who can specify the behavioral characteristics, such as speed and helpfulness, of the kobos, as well as the resources available for them. The game records the players’ behavior for later analysis. An account on the server designated to the game is required for using this app. If you are a researcher and are interested in using this app, please contact [email protected]. Using the app for research purposes is free.
