In the Mind app: four cards, 20 rounds, and your success rate tracked over time.
How it works
Train your extrasensory perception! You will see 4 cards. 1 card is chosen randomly. Your task is to pick that card. There are 20 rounds in total, after which you will see your success rate.
Don't rush with your choices. Clear your mind, relax, take your time. It's about getting it correct, not being fast.
The subconscious signal is very subtle and there are different ways to access it: some let the finger tap on the card without thinking about it logically, some point to a card and ask "Is this the one?". Experiment and see what works for you best!
Why it works
Retrocognition (or postcognition) is the ability to gather information about a past event which could not have been known by normal means. Why does it work? No one knows for sure! Some call it intuition or just being psychic.

Common questions
What are Zener cards?
A deck of 25 cards with five symbols, five of each: circle, cross, three wavy lines, square and star. Karl Zener and J. B. Rhine designed them at Duke University in the 1930s to test ESP.
What is a good score on a Zener card test?
Chance is 5 out of 25. Pure guessing scores 9 or more in about 1 in 20 runs, and 12 or more in about 1 in 650. One high score can be luck; what counts is a high average over many runs.
How does this ESP test pick the cards?
Each card is drawn at random in your browser, independently of the others, so earlier cards tell you nothing about the next one. Nothing you pick is sent anywhere.
