8foldWay

The Eightfold Way Game is a set of 360 puzzles. The task is simple: the board of the game has to be completely covered by the player. The puzzles are gradually becoming more and more difficult and each of them has only one solution. The player (starting from the beginner level, through the advanced, master and grandmaster levels), can reach the champion level as a real world-class puzzle solver.
In comparing the Eightfold game to a (thus far) more famous Hungarian puzzle, Rubik\u2019s cube, we would note that in an important way, the two puzzles are polar opposites. Rubik\u2019s cube has taught millions of people the following lesson: Presented with an extremely difficult task that you are highly unlikely to be able even to approach solving on your own, if you are willing to learn a few tricks, you will not only be able to accomplish the task, but you will enjoy doing it, and you will earn respect. That is a lesson of that belongs to the past two centuries, when expert knowledge was the key to success and prosperity.
However, in the twenty-first century, the key to prosperity is convertible knowledge. Solving the puzzles of the Eightfold game requires this kind of knowledge, and it develops it by training mental flexibility. Even the most difficult of the eightfold puzzles can be solved without any specific knowledge; only mental flexibility is needed.
The Eightfold Way game has proved quite addictive and enjoyable for a wide variety of individuals, from curious five-year-olds to otherwise bored adolescents to adults of all ages and abilities. We have realized that even five-year-olds could enjoy the game, and after a brief explanation and a few general strategic hints, they can solve at least the puzzles at the beginner level. On the other hand in spite of their apparent simplicity, the grandmaster and champion level puzzles have delivered a real challenge even for world-class puzzle solvers.
The application is based on the book: \u201cThe Eightfold Way, Improvement of the mental flexibility\u201d by L\xe1szl\xf3 M\xe9r\u0151.
