PolyRules is a challenging sorting game where the rules change as you play. As you progress through the game you will encounter increasingly more complicated scenarios that challenge you in ways you can't imagine. The current release is our first prototype and we will update the game semi-frequently as we move towards a design that features tried and true game design to facilitate the cognitive benefits this game aids to provide. Researchers who are interested in using this game for their own studies please reach out to us to us through our support page for more information on how to best use this App. We have several ways to support you including a central server to store logs and automatic analytics which will be implemented in the coming weeks.

Experience the psychological phenomenon called "Stroop effect": Tap the colors that you read, not the ones you see. Easy enough? Read on. If, for instance, the word "blue" is written with red ink, your brain will process the ink color much faster than the written word "blue". As a result, you will want to tap red when you actually should tap blue. Go ahead and try for yourself! To top off your confusion, you will only have a limited time to make your decision. So focus and sharpen your senses, because this game will definitely get you in a rush! Compete against your friends and the rest of the world for the highest score, unlock various achievements and master the Stroop effect. This game isn't only fun, but also a great way to stay sharp while killing time.
