Go with the flow

It’s easy to get lost in a game like Candygrams. That’s because “the colorful crossword game” is the perfect combination of skill, strategy, and luck.

Here’s what we mean. There’s a phenomenon in game theory called “flow” that explains a deep feeling of engagement. Flow is basically a fancy way of saying that when you’re playing a game and the challenge level and fun level intersect at just the right point, your very perception of time is either skewed or irrelevant because you’re both deeply engaged and having fun.

You may recognize the “flow” concept by another name — “getting in the zone.” When you hear that phrase, you might think of athletes, musicians, writers, or artists. But it can also happen when you’re playing a great game like Candygrams. When you’re “in the zone,” everything around you seems to click into place. You feel totally immersed. Time seems to slow down. You function without even thinking about it, performing your best with an effortless, clear head.

“Going with the flow” is the holy grail of mental conditioning. That’s why artists and athletes work so hard to get there. Finding flow, however, is also possible in everyday life. Discover the flow with Candygrams, the game that hits the perfect balance of challenge and fun to get you into that zen state of thoughtless excitement.
