ESP Trainer is an interesting curiosity. It’s less of a 'game' and more of a psychological experiment or tool based on the work of Russell Targ. The interface is extremely simple—you just try to predict which image will appear next. It’s minimalist and focuses entirely on the task at hand.
Whether or not you believe in ESP, the app functions as a great mindfulness exercise. It requires you to clear your head and follow your intuition. It's not something you'll play for hours, but as a five-minute daily drill, it's quite fascinating. It’s a very niche product, but it does exactly what it says on the tin without any unnecessary fluff.

The ESP trainer was developed under a NASA program by Russell Targ at Stanford Research Institute.
We have found that people are able to improve their ESP scores by using a machine just like this and get in touch with the part of themselves that is psychic. This is often called a clairvoyant ability, and can enhance your life in many surprising ways.
The player is presented with four colored squares. For each trial, one has been selected at random by the ESP Trainer. Your task is to choose the correct square.
If you succeed, you will hear a chime, feel a vibration, and see a large color picture. Otherwise, the system lights up the correct square, and you proceed with the next trial. The score indicator at the top counts the number of correct choices. Words of encouragement appear as you achieve the scoring levels of 6, 8. 10, 12 or 14 hits. After 24 trials you may begin a new game.
The game offers multi-sensory feedback, reinforcement, and an opportunity to Pass, meeting all the requirements needed for learning this skill. ESP Trainer improves your ability to recognize your intuitive impressions, and it can bring you to a level of intuitive awareness beyond anything you've experienced before.
The purpose of the trainer is to allow you to become aware of what it feels like when you psychically choose the correct square. When you don't have that special feeling, we encourage you to press the Pass button. (So this is not a "forced choice" test.)
In a year long NASA program with 145 subjects (under Contract 953653 NAS7-100) many were able to significantly improve their scores. Four of the subjects improved their scores at the hundred-to-one level or better. This approach has been used with surprising success on Wall Street. But of course, past results are no guarantee of future performance.
Because you are learning a new skill, slower is better than faster.
If you find yourself frequently scoring 12 or more, write to the developer at his web site www.espresearch.com.
This game can provide the first steps toward experiencing and developing the psychic abilities hidden within us all.

ESP Trainer was developed to help users tap into their intuitive abilities. Using a simple four-choice interface, players attempt to predict which hidden image will be selected by the computer. The app tracks your hits and misses over time, providing a statistical breakdown of your performance. It is based on the methodology used in parapsychology labs to study remote viewing and precognition.
Simple 4-choice interface
Statistical performance tracking
Scientific research-based design
Clean, distraction-free UI
Don't overthink your choices. The goal of ESP training is to act on your first instinct before your analytical brain takes over. Take deep breaths between rounds.
Look for patterns in your scores. You might find you perform better at certain times of day or when you are in a specific mood, which is key to understanding your intuitive flow.
The app is based on the protocols used by NASA scientists like Russell Targ in his studies on psychic phenomena.
