Headspace: Unwind Your Mind

No longer streaming: Netflix removed this title in December 2024. See availability below.

Synopsis

From the meditation app that redefined mindfulness for millions, Headspace: Unwind Your Mind is an interactive animated special that puts the viewer in control of their own relaxation experience. At the start, the viewer chooses what they need most (to wind down before sleep, to meditate for focus, or simply to relax) and the special branches into a tailored session guided by Headspace co-founder Andy Puddicombe's calm narration. Along the way, further choices shape the length, intensity, and visual style of the experience, from gentle breathing exercises set against pastel landscapes to playful animated scenarios designed to ease anxiety. It is a unique entry in the interactive film space: not a story with stakes and endings, but a wellness tool that uses the branching format to personalize a guided meditation experience for each individual viewing session.

How the Branching Works

Headspace: Unwind Your Mind features 3 distinct endings. At key decision points the film pauses and presents your options, your choice determines which scene plays next, reshaping alliances, outcomes, and the story's resolution. With 15 minutes of total footage spread across these branches, a single viewing reveals only a fraction of what the film contains. Replay to discover hidden subplots, alternate character arcs, and endings that only unlock when you choose differently.
