Some group mind games are especially good for long trips in a car. For example- someone looks out the window and randomly chooses an object. Everyone in the car then tries to imagine a new way to make money with it. Street signs become places to advertise- trees are sold with names- and a truck becomes a traveling grocery store.
The "change of perspective" technique can be used as a problem-solving game. Pick any topic- and see who can come up with the most unique new perspective. Could there be a world where jobs weren/' t necessary? How would a virus define morality if it was conscious?

Another creative game for a group uses a specific technique- called "concept combination." Simply combine random concepts or things in interesting ways- and see who has the best idea. A chair and a microwave? Maybe an easy-chair with a built-in cooler- microwave and television- or microwavable "couch potatoes" - a potato snack in the shape of a couch.

Some lateral-thinking puzzles use a scenario- real or imagined- with a selection of things you have to use to accomplish something. Imagine a ping-pong ball in an iron pipe that/' s set in cement. The pipe sticks up two-feet high- and has almost the same diameter as the ball. With only a box of frosted-flakes- and a t-shirt- how many ways can you find to get the ball out of the pipe? You could also set this up for real- to know if a proposed solution will really work.
Riddles are just mind games or lateral-thinking puzzles. You move laterally in your mind- away from your usual line of thought- to solve a riddle. What did his friends do when the canibal was late for dinner? Gave him the cold shoulder. Keeping your brain in shape doesn/' t have to be a matter of serious study- does it?
