Oblique Strategies

Oblique Strategies, created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt, is a deck of cards containing cryptic prompts designed to stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving.

Each card presents a concise statement or question intended to disrupt habitual thought patterns and encourage lateral thinking.

The cards are used as a tool to overcome creative blocks, generate new ideas, and approach challenges from unexpected perspectives.

The ambiguous nature of the prompts encourages users to interpret them in relation to their specific context, fostering individual creativity and collaborative exploration.

Oblique Strategies has become a widely used tool in various creative fields, including music, design, and software development.
