Free the (online) Genie

What it is
Free the (online) Genie is a powerful, intranet-based, creative thinking tool for anyone in your organization needing to find new and better ways of accomplishing their business goals. Based on our deck of 55 cards by the same name, Free the (online) Genie is a quick hitting catalyst that gets people out of the box and into a much higher level of creative output than ever before. Think of this tool, if you like, as a personal genie for every single member of your workforce — a 24/7 assistant whose sole mission in life is to help aspiring innovators accomplish the seemingly impossible. Knowing how time-pressed everyone is these days, we've designed Free the (online) Genie to work its magic in less than five minutes. And because there are a variety of ways to play, people can return again and again.. On their own. With a teammate. Or even an entire team.

Why the (online) Genie?
Because the genie is the archetypal symbol of unexpressed potential — the hidden force within us all capable of turning inspired dreams into reality. In Aladdin's time, all it took was a rub of the lamp to free this power. Today, all it takes is some dedicated time and the willingness to interact with this very upbeat, engaging and graphically compelling breakthrough thinking tool. It's fun. It's simple. And it gets results.

What this Tool Does
Unlock the imagination Inspire quantum leaps Ignite creativity Spark insights and ahas! Unleash genius Free up stuck energy Boost motivation Increase adaptability Diffuse doubt and fear Accelerate change Build momentum Close the gap between thought and action Jump start collaboration

How it Works
Free the (online) Genie is both an oracle and a card game. As an oracle, it can be used like any self-help tool — as a way to seek counsel, clarity, and increased personal insight. As a card game, it can be used by groups or teams seeking feedback, insight, support, and the wisdom that comes from tapping into a higher order of collective intelligence.
