Description of the Game

Connect matching colors with pipe to create a Flow. Pair all colors, and cover the entire board to solve each puzzle. But watch out, pipes will break if they cross or overlap!

Free play through hundreds of levels, or race against the clock in Time Trial mode. Gameplay ranges from simple and relaxed, to challenging and frenetic, and everywhere in between. How you play is up to you.


Why this works

Flow Free’s minimalist visuals and clear, accomplishable objectives can help to improve concentration and reduce distractions. Players reported feeling more determined and focused after playing, and more agreeable or emotional people yielded an additional boost of creativity.


Why Planning matters

Planning – sequencing information in a specific order – is a key executive function of the brain, which allows you to decide what you should do, and how and when to execute it. Practicing planning will help you stay organized, and be able to make more informed decisions. Instead of just having a random reaction, you're using the information around you to come up with strategic solutions that are sensible for the situation.
