Shape Search Zen shifts the classic gameplay of Wordsearches into something new, yet familiar, by asking the player to find sequences of colored shapes hidden within a random grid of similar shapes. At heart, it’s a game of matching, but the definition of “match” will not always be the same. Additionally, while the player is enjoying the game, the game is observing the player and at the end of each level will provide an estimation of the player’s Zen.

Beyond the Zen aspect, the game provides a mix of gameplay options. It starts with the expected “see a red triangle, find a red triangle”, but the rules quickly change. Some levels it will mean “find a triangle that isn’t red”, or “find something that is neither a triangle nor red”. Additionally, some levels will require a bit of memory as all the pieces on the play Grid will disappear when you touch the first correct shape in the sequence, and some levels will have the pieces on the play grid fading in and out so that not all are visible at once.

What is Zen?

Hmmm... That would be telling!

Some clues:
- Zen is a very delicate thing. Just knowing what it is can dramatically affect the results.
- Don’t assume you’re doing poorly because you get a low score!
- If youre feeling anxious, you could end up with random seeming scores.
- Relax!
