I love that these games are not only relaxing, but help your brain. I have PP Multiple Sclerosis which makes me have cognitive trouble. These games would help stimulate my brain. Thanks for the contest!!
I like that a game isn’t a set amount of time. I could pick it up and play it whenever I had a few minutes to spare.
I need to escape from the stress of daily life while challenging my mind, body and spirit through relaxing puzzle games! I’d love zenses.
i love that there are non-violent games! but instead they actually stimulate the brain. THANK YOU! There is still hope for us yet!!!
sarah bs last blog post..Merry Christmas
Besides how puzzles help keep the mind flexible, and how I can nicely fill the occasional free moment without losing my place when I have to put it down, I like not having to monkey with the keyboard at all. Thanks!!
I like the ambient sound effects that relax you! Aaaahhhh…I feel relaxed already!!
I like puzzles. I find they reboot my brain and relax me. I like the fact of a relaxing sound also instead of some of the annoying stuff they put with games that make you want to scream and press the mute button.
The ambient sounds seem like a fabulous feature! Very soothing which is kind of unusual in a game.
Rubiks world looks like a mind boggling game!
ardy22 at earthlink.net
I love how UN-exciting this game is. That means my kids won’t like it, this game is gonna be for me!!! A calm and soothing video game. Awesome!
I really like the fact that each edition uses the sights and sounds of the ocean/rain forest to help you relax while playing the game.
I particularly admire the ability to do everything with just the stylus — no need to get my adult-sized fingers on the keyboard.
I really love the relaxing sounds. This is great!
I like the brain training feature in Zenses Ocean

I like that Zenses challenges your mind, body and spirit through their relaxing games, sounds, and visuals of our earth’s natural wonders and pure beauty.
It is like taking a spa day with you in your handbag as you can play at any time as the games last only 3 minutes to 3 hours.
I have done quite a bit of reading on the Zenses games, they both sound like something I would highly enjoy….and very much highly need!
While sitting here typing out my blog post to you I have the Zenses website loaded on another page, I am listening to the sounds and I do have to admit, it is relaxing.
Thank you for the chance to win, I cross my fingers I win but if not then there will be another happy…and relaxed!….person on this earth. What a great giveaway.

Since I have never been to the ocean, I would love this game to just hear the sounds would be relaxing.. the games are just a added bonus.

The active relaxation feature is the best! Thanks =)
I love the zen-like concept of these games- maybe this means I finally outgrew Mario and Sonic! The ability to unwind, instead of overstimulate, my mind when playing a video game is a great feature of Zenses by Game Factory. Same goes for Rubik’s World! I’d love to get my hands on that tasty morsel
I would love the nature sounds!
i love the fact that if I only have 3 minutes to 3hours you can find a game that suits your stress level and just relax.
I like that they have several small games that are rather quick to play.
The Ocean is sensual.
I like that we get to enjoy the ambient sounds inspired by the rainforest and the sea.
