Practice psi. Train your attention. Explore remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis, and telepathy through four daily games inspired by psi research. Settle your mind. Notice impressions. Direct intention. Record your responses and review the feedback. Psi Games gives your practice a clear structure, with personal history and results alongside chance expectations. FOUR WAYS TO PRACTICE SENSE — REMOTE VIEWING Seek impressions of an unseen image. Notice shapes, textures, colors, or feelings, then record them with a sketch and notes. Try one free introductory round with immediate feedback—no account or subscription required. Continue with the free Daily round and return at the scheduled reveal time, or use Premium Immediate rounds for feedback in the same session. DETECT — FORCED-CHOICE ESP / PRECOGNITION Settle your attention and notice an impression of a future target. Make your choice before the target is generated. Move through 24 four-card trials, choose—or pass—and review your accuracy against chance. NUDGE — MICRO-PSYCHOKINESIS Practice focused intention toward a random process. Sustain your attention on the intended direction, then review how the completed stream of securely generated outcomes compares with chance. SIGNAL — TELEPATHY Practice mental sending and receiving. Focus on a visual target to transmit, then attend to impressions when receiving. Play through a blind relay or privately with friends. Rank your choices and watch the target reveal among the images. Review your sent and received Signals with each friend and explore your accuracy together. RECORD. REVIEW. RETURN. Build a record of your experience over time. Review your Sense sketches and notes, revisit completed rounds, and explore per-game statistics. Choices lock before target generation or reveal as required by each game’s protocol. Daily participation and additional play remain distinguishable. Feedback includes both hits and misses, with chance comparisons to help you interpret your results. SHARE WHAT YOU SENSE Turn a revealed Sense round into an image or short video, including completed Archive rounds. Share your sketch, optional notes, and the target reveal in light or dark styles. Preview what you’ll export, then share it with friends or on social media.
