We are adding more games and support for more phobias every week.
Select a condition
Pick from a list of specific phobias, grouped by category. Each profile maps to a content set tested for triggering relevance.
Choose a content tier
Four tiers, in order: plain words, then drawn pictures, then staged photographs, then real photos and video. Pick the one you can face today. It is a ladder, so you can start at the bottom and climb it as slowly as you like.
Pick a game and play
Every game that works at your tier is offered. Triggering content loses its power when we turn around and face it, and a game is a gentle way to do that. You stay in control of your pace and of what you do next.
With a phobia, the trigger comes at you. Here, you go at the exposure.
Phobias survive on avoidance. The feared thing turns up without warning, you pull away, and the fear is reinforced. Exposure reverses that: you choose to approach the trigger in small graded steps, at a pace you set. Facing it deliberately and repeatedly is what reduces the fear.
Habituation
Each time we face a fear our brain gets a chance to learn that this thing is not actually dangerous. It does not mean we will 'like' the thing we fear. The goal is to calibrate our fear response to a reasonable level that is not negatively impacting our lives.
Inhibitory learning
Each time we face a fear, our brain gets a chance to develop new neural pathways. It understands that it does not need safety behaviors, it does not need rituals, we don't need our safety kit. These new learnings unlock a life free from fear.
A whole world for younger players.

Bia is the full phobia recovery program behind these games.
We found the exposure games on Bia to be incredibly helpful. We wanted to make as much of it available for free as we could. There are two ways in, one for the person facing the fear and one for the clinician treating it.
A personalized plan you can work through on your own.
Bia walks you through your specific phobia with structured lessons, step-by-step incremental exposures, and progress tracking along the way.

Frequently asked.
Is this a replacement for therapy?
No. Exposure Games is a free public resource and a small piece of what graded exposure looks like in practice. The full Bia program pairs with cognitive behavioural therapy and existing exposure work, and clinicians can use the Bia provider portal to monitor and adjust client progression. If you are looking for a therapist, FindExposureTherapy.com is a free directory of clinicians trained in exposure and ERP.
What are the dailies?
Some of the games rebuild themselves once a day. Everyone working on the same fear gets the same set, and it resets at midnight where you are. They are short, so they are easy to fit in on a day you don't want to do more. Which games are in the set changes over time. See today's games.
How is content selected for each phobia?
Each phobia has its own content set. Imagery is reviewed by clinical advisors and tagged for relevance and intensity. The same library powers the more granular exercises inside the Bia program.
What if a tier is too intense?
You can pause, repeat, or step down a tier at any time. Nothing here auto-advances. The full Bia program adds finer-grained exposures and a readiness check between steps so movement upward is gradual.
Does it work for children?
The games are public, so anyone can use them. The Bia program has a dedicated child version with age-appropriate exercises, parent lessons, and stricter content limits by default.
How is this different from Bia itself?
Exposure Games is a free, no-account browser sampler with eight game formats across four content tiers. Bia is the full structured program, with a personalized plan, granular exercises between every step, anxiety tracking, and a provider portal for therapists.
