CollThink Games are your mental amusement park — playful, unpredictable, and designed to shake you out of the ordinary.

It's a new kind of fun for a new kind of world. There are no rules to memorize, no pressure to perform, and nothing you need to "get right." Just surprising prompts, unexpected twists, and lots of fun.

Play solo, play with AI, play with friends or groups — online or offline.

Built on principles that make them more than just entertainment:

• Maximum external freedom — no fixed structure, hierarchy, or goal
• Maximum internal freedom — scenarios unrelated to your life help break habitual loops
• Maximum simplification — encourages fast, effortless thinking
• Minimum judgment — no "right" or "wrong," no "useful" or "pointless"

Something unexpected happens when you play regularly: you get faster and lighter in your thinking, stop judging ideas too early, break habitual thought patterns, and start spotting connections even in chaotic input.

Each CollThink game is built around a simple challenge that nudges you to think differently. Below are four easy-to-try formats — simple examples to show you how CollThink games work.

• ASSOCIATIONS

Players take turns saying words that come to mind based on the previous one, continuing for 30 rounds. At the end, you compare the first and last word — and wonder how you got from apple to crown.

• COMMON GROUND

Two unrelated words are given, and the task is to find what they have in common. For example, what connects a ladder and a mirror? A ladder lets you reach new heights; a mirror shows you a new perspective. Both help you see what’s beyond your usual point of view.
