Free the Genie

Free the Genie is a deck of 55 creative thinking cards that help aspiring innovators get unstuck, out of the box, and achieve extraordinary results. There are an infinite amount of ways to use this brainstorming tool, but since you're obviously late for something, here are four simple ways to get started.

Please note that the following four brainstorming games use only 20 of the 55 cards in the Free the Genie deck. Our intention is to give you a fun introduction to how powerful this tool is so you will actually BUY the deck and/or license it for your intranet.
